Flutie's drop kick

This weekend, Doug Flutie kicked the NFL's first successful drop kick in over 60 years. I didn't know exactly what this meant when I first heard it- but ESPN has a good article about it: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2277308

I remember reading an article about 5 years ago where Flutie talked about doing drop kicks in games. Apparently he studies the rules and tries to find obscure plays that are legal in the NFL and the drop kick was one that he mentioned. It worked!! (yea, one point!)
