49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky's Madden rating boosted after big hit vs. Denver Broncos

Many professional athletes quibble over their performance ratings on sports video games, but rarely do those complaints lead to a change in the virtual representation of their athletic prowess.

But not all professional athletes are Mitch Wishnowsky. The San Francisco 49ers rookie punter kicked the ball off after the Niners scored a touchdown toward the end of the third quarter of the Niners' Monday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos.

Broncos returner Devontae Jackson caught the ball in the end zone, ran it out and found an opening to maybe bust out a big run.

Wishnowsky quickly closed that hole, though, with a devastating hit on Jackson that got people talking.
