Chargers' Travis Benjamin Returns Punt Minus-8 Yards for Safety vs. Patriots

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin may no longer return punts for the club after what happened during the second quarter of Sunday's game versus the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

With roughly nine minutes to play in the opening half, Benjamin muffed a kick at his own 11-yard line.

He collected the ball on a bounce and then ran toward the end zone to avoid pursuing defenders, but he was brought down behind the goal line for a safety that propelled the hosts to a 9-7 advantage.

A fair catch can be your friend, Mr. Benjamin.
