Re: Kicking game-winning FG on 3rd down... Just in case
[ QUOTE ]
Can we get some sort of moratorium on football announcers talking about trying a game-winning FG with an extra down or extra time on the clock so that they can have another try at it in case there is a bad snap or hold? Has this ever happened? Has a team ever tried to kick it on 3rd down, screwed it up, and then won the game on the second try? Ever?
I can never remember this happening and until it does I'd appreciate it if the announcers could just shut up about it. They're grasping at straws during the climax of an exciting game for something to talk about between plays. Stop being so incompetent.

This happened in a Browns-Steelers game about 3 years ago. FG blocked on 3rd down, they recovered, then kicked the game winner on 4th. It didn't seem incompetent at the time.
