Younghoe Koo's Kick

Where Does Younghoe Koo’s Missed Kick Rank In NFL Infamy?

1. Scott Norwood

Younghoe Koo’s missed kick might be uglier, but he didn’t cost the Giants a Super Bowl. Scott Norwood, on the other hand, missed a kick that would have won a championship. Then-defensive coordinator Bill Belichick held Jim Kelly and the Buffalo Bills offense to just 19 points through the first 59 minutes of Super Bowl XXV, but Norwood had the chance to win the game with a 47-yard field goal.

Instead, he missed it, wide right. The New York Giants live on in history, while Norwood is best known for the most impactful miss in NFL history. It’s essentially the Malcolm Butler interception of kicks.
