5. The brotherhood of the NFL really can be a brotherhood
It’s not uncommon for there to be a reunion of some sorts every week between coaches that worked together or players who shared a locker room in college or a previous NFL stop. This week, however, features a meet-up between players who grew up in the same household and have followed a legacy of punters. Minnesota’s Britton Colquitt (10th season, first with Vikings) and Kansas City’s Dustin Colquitt (15th season, all with Chiefs) have followed in the footsteps of their father, Craig, who punted in 96 games for the Steelers from 1978-84 and one game for the Colts in 1987. Britton will be playing his 153rd regular-season game, and Dustin will be appearing in his 231st. It will be the 14th game in which the brothers’ teams have faced off. Britton is coming off a Week 8 game in which he didn’t have to punt, the first such outing for him since his time with the Broncos when Denver defeated Dallas 51-48 on Oct. 6, 2013. Dustin didn’t punt in a 45-10 win over Cincinnati on Oct. 21, 2018.
