| | Drop kick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The drop kick and stab pass gradually disappeared from the game by the 1980s, as it was unreliable, particularly on wet grounds, and players were coached to always use the drop punt kicking style to avoid having to make a decision on what kind of kick to perform. |
 | | The only execution of the drop kick in the modern-day NFL was by Doug Flutie, quarterback of the New England Patriots, against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006 for a point after touchdown (i.e., counting for 1 point). |
 | | The drop kick was supplanted by the place kick, which cannot be attempted out of a formation generally used as a running or passing set. |
