It appears that Mason is booming the ball longer than he has in previous years. I don't remember anywhere near the number of touchbacks on kickoffs than this year. Also, even though the 56 yarder yesterday was fairly close; in prior years I'm not sure he makes that or even attempts it without having the wind at his back. In any case kudos to him; for both the kickoffs and the field goals yesterday as it sure helped overall field position.
Can you imagine if he missed yesterday? DallAss would have had the football on the 46 yard line with a tie game and a couple minutes on the clock.
