Look: Riley Dixon thanks Baker Mayfield for not making him work on Christmas

© AP There are three preseason games that will help settle the punter battle, but entering the exhibition opener, it’s Riley Dixon who’s listed as the first-team punter with Cameron Dicker backing him up. Dixon is also the only player listed as the holder, which is usually the punter’s job. The Rams might be leaning toward veteran experience over the rookie on special teams.

Riley Dixon has been busy this season for the Rams, punting 62 times in the team’s first 14 games. The offense has been awful all year, but on Sunday, the Rams somehow put up 51 points against the Broncos.

After the game, Dixon had to thank Baker Mayfield for giving him the first no-punt game of his career. Dixon still had to suit up and stand on the sideline all game long, but at least he didn’t have to work much on Christmas Day.

His only obligation was holding for Matt Gay nine times as he drilled three field goals and six PATs. Check out Dixon’s funny tweet below.
