The New York Giants had a rough go against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football, and Younghoe Koo’s missed kick perfectly encapsulated the atrocious night. Midway through the second quarter, Koo and the Giants lined up for a 47-yard field goal to make it a one-score game.
Instead, Koo messed up uniquely. The kicker seemingly planted his left foot too close to the ball and ended up kicking the ground instead of the football. He never actually made contact, forcing the holder to desperately try and make something out of nothing. It didn’t work, and New York turned the ball over on downs.
Note: Technically, this was a sack, but let’s be real: this is Koo’s fault.
