Later, I will rant for a little bit about anyone criticizing T.J. Hockenson at the end of Sunday's game.
He's 12 of 12 on field goals this year, and the last two kicks he missed, of the last 47 field goals over the last two years, he's missed two, and both arguably hit a camera wire.
I love how we have broken those down Zapruder film style, frame by frame, trying to verify whether it hit the wire or not.
The one against the Chargers I'm a little more skeptical about, but it's a compelling case if you look at the footage.
If, if we erase those, if we erase those, there's 45 kicks in a row, field goals in a row that he's made if you discount the ones that might have been affected by a camera wire, 14 of those from 50 and beyond, and one of them from 60 and beyond.
I don't think we have a metric yet for, like, how down the middle field goals are, but Will isn't just sneaking these inside of the post.
Will is sending them with perfect trajectory right over the stanchion that holds up the goalpost.
