Where Younghoe Koo ranks among NFL’s worst field goal fails

Younghoe‍ Koo‘s Miss Puts him in Rare Company Among NFL Playoff Field Goal Failures

ORLANDO, FL ‍- January 21, 2024 ⁣ – Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo ⁤joined a dubious list ⁢of NFL⁣ players whose playoff ‌field goal misses dramatically⁤ altered postseason outcomes after his late fourth-quarter attempt sailed wide left against the Los Angeles ⁢Rams in a 36-28‌ loss.⁤ The miss, coming with under two minutes remaining, would have tied the⁣ game and sent it to ⁤overtime, rather cementing the Rams’ comeback victory and ⁣ending Atlanta’s season. Koo’s failure instantly sparked‌ comparisons to some of the moast infamous kicks in NFL history,‍ raising questions about pressure, technique, and the lasting impact of ⁣a single play.

The stakes are especially high for ⁢kickers in the playoffs, where a single missed field ‌goal can⁢ erase weeks of effort and define a team’s season. Koo’s ⁣miss is not an isolated incident; several kickers ⁢have faced similar heartbreak on the‌ biggest stage,becoming cautionary ⁢tales of ‌the⁣ mental and physical demands of the position.While Koo is generally considered a reliable kicker throughout⁤ his career, this miss places him alongside names⁣ synonymous with playoff disappointment, prompting a re-evaluation of his legacy and the fragility of success in the NFL.

The Falcons were ‍gifted a second chance⁤ earlier in the game when Rams kicker Lucas Havrila missed a 53-yard field goal, a⁣ kick that went wide left. ⁣The Falcons had new life, marched down the field‍ and scored the game-tying touchdown. In overtime, ‌the Falcons kicker – Morten andersen -⁣ booted the⁣ winner (a 38-yarder) and the Falcons were a stunning Super Bowl ‍entrant.

One of the greatest Super Bowls ever played⁢ ended on a missed ⁤field goal. Scott Norwood’s miss is a‌ tempting butterfly affect debate. What would have ‍happened had he made the kick? Rather,⁢ the Buffalo‌ Bills went on to lose four consecutive⁤ Super Bowls.‍ In an epic clash‌ with the‌ New York Giants, the Bills moved into position ‍to win ‍the game in the final seconds. Norwood’s 47-yard attempt‌ sailed wide right and the Giants held on for‍ a hard-fought 20-19 ‍win.

Nighttime rocket launch may be visible in Arizona. Where to see Falcon 9

Arizona residents May See SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket⁤ Launch Light Up Night Sky

PHOENIX ⁤- Arizona residents could be treated to a spectacular nighttime view Saturday as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket⁣ carrying more Starlink satellites‍ into orbit. The launch ⁤window‌ opens at 7:39 p.m. MST from‍ Vandenberg Space Force ‌Base in california, and clear skies are predicted across much of⁤ Arizona, increasing the chances of visibility.

This launch is part of SpaceX’s ongoing‌ effort to expand it’s Starlink satellite internet constellation, a project that aims to provide high-speed internet access to underserved‍ areas⁤ globally. SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, has been rapidly deploying these satellites – ‍now numbering over 8,700 – with regular launches from both Florida and California over the past six years.

The Falcon 9 rocket is designed to be reusable, with the frist stage returning to Earth for a vertical landing shortly after liftoff.Observers may see two distinct stages during the event: the ascending rocket and the descending ⁢booster.

“The visibility⁣ will depend on weather conditions and how high in⁢ the sky the launch occurs,” said Eric Lagatta, Space Connect reporter for the USA TODAY Network. “But if conditions are favorable, it should be a stunning sight.”

Starlink differs from customary satellite internet by⁤ operating in low-Earth orbit, approximately 341 miles above the planet, compared to the 22,236-mile altitude of geostationary satellites. This lower orbit results in reduced latency and faster data transfer speeds, ‍enhancing the performance of applications like streaming, online gaming, and video conferencing. ⁣

SpaceX benefits from substantial contracts with‌ NASA and the Department of Defense,including providing launch services for classified satellites and other‍ payloads. the company also undertakes self-reliant commercial missions,such as‍ the headline-grabbing ‍polaris ⁣Dawn crewed ‍mission in September 2024.
