Punter's duel

Time to get excited
Morstead and Lee are the best in the business. Both enjoyed career seasons. Lee set the NFL record for net punting with an average of 44.0 yards. Morstead was right behind him at 43.1, the third-best season ever. Lee was selected to the Pro Bowl and All-Pro team. Morstead is the first alternate.

The hidden yards Morstead and Lee gain in the kicking game Saturday might be less conspicuous than a Drew Brees pass or Frank Gore run, but they'll play a significant role in field position, and that's huge in a game where every yard figures to matter.
