The New Orleans Saints’ missed field goal at the end of their loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday would have been as dramatic as Kawhi Leonard’s bouncing game-winner against the Philadelphia 76ers had the stakes been as high.
The 61-yarder struck the left upright of the goal posts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, ricocheted to the crossbar, then bounced back out of the uprights for a heart-breaking missed field goal. Instead of a tied game headed for overtime, the Vikings won 28-25, and Saints bettors were left in disbelief.
