Dallas Cowboys safety Jeff Heath’s experience as a high school punter came in handy on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

Heath kicked off five times for the Cowboys on Sunday after kicker Dan Bailey exited with a groin injury.

Below is a video of one of Heath’s kickoffs in the second quarter.

Health was 2-for-3 on extra points with one coming after a 72-yard touchdown run by running back Ezekiel Elliott in the third quarter.

The Cowboys defeated the 49ers, 40-10.
