New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz admitted he was "in shock" after the dramatic conclusion to the first NFL International Series game of 2022 in London.
Lutz drilled a 60-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to bring the Saints level before Minnesota Vikings counterpart Greg Joseph put his side 28-25 ahead with less than a minute remaining. But the Saints got back into field goal range and gave Lutz a 61-yard attempt to force overtime at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
His kick again had plenty of distance but hit the left post before dropping down onto the crossbar and bouncing out of the posts leaving the Vikings to celebrate victory. And Lutz admitted he thought his second attempt was on course to split the uprights and give them a chance of returning to New Orleans with a victory.
