I thought I was the only one in the stadium that day that missed the kick!

Being at the top of the stadium, looking over the side, trying in vain to convince myself that an 8-8 record for a second year team was actually a pretty good accomplishment.

Unlike you, I missed it completely.

But the range of emotions experienced that day-from the pregame excitement about the possibility of our first winning season and first playoff experience after a 4-7 start, to the shock of being out played throughout the game by a 3-12 team, to the horror of seeing Atlanta drive down the field that final time and give this team its first ever truly crushing loss, to the jubilation of the inexplicable miss-is something I have rarely, if ever, experienced in a game.

If you think about it, we've had some pretty amazing kick related plays at the stadium in our history.

Morten's miss.

Clyde Simmons' blocked FG against the Steelers in the first Monday Night Game

The missed extra point after the River City Relay.

Josh Scobee crushed the Colts with a GW 59 yard FG.


Look at the 11:56 mark of this video and you can see how Brackens saved our season in 1996.
