This is a fantastic piece by the fantastic @jon_bois, but I have to regretfully inform you that he did not, in fact, find the SADDEST PUNT IN THE WORLD.
How do I know?
Because I, under duress, perpetrated the SADDEST PUNT IN THE WORLD in 2008.

Now for the piece de resistance. We had no timeouts left. Punting in that situation would effectively end the game without us ever seeing the ball again, and yes indeed, Tennessee's final possession was three straight kneeldowns.

When we were told to punt, we asked "Why?" The response (from the head coach!) was "We're thinking a defensive stop then score." Again, we had no timeouts left. Their return unit laughed at us as we lined up and asked "WTF are you guys doing?" We kicked it.

*This* punt, I think you'll all agree with me, now that you know the details, is THE SADDEST PUNT IN THE WORLD. Thank you for listening.

Seems like 4 down territory there. Of course the 3 play drive managed just negative 3 yards, probably not a lot of hope of making it on that 4th and 13. Probably not a bad move just to give up. Maybe take a knee or just hand it back to the Titans and walk off the field.
