A muffed punt occurs when a player attempting to catch a punted football fails to secure it cleanly, leading to a fumble. This can happen when the player misjudges the ball's trajectory, allowing it to bounce off their hands or body. If the player recovers the ball after the muff, they can continue the play, but if the ball is lost and not recovered, it can be gained by the opposing team. This play can be critical, as it often leads to scoring opportunities for the other team.
