OK well it turns out to be just one because the other one didn't come out for shit. The ball is almost out of the frame of the camera. So blame Zurlein for that.
I've watched this kick from a field level view many times now, and frankly the force with which this ball came off of his foot may be unprecedented for a FG attempt. I've never seen anything like it other than a kickoff from a tee. I've never seen a kick from this distance or even many yards less go this high and this far.
He is standing at about midfield ready to kick the ball. He hits it at the 47. It reaches it's apex well inside the 10 yard line in this video. Or so it appears and I've watched many times.
It passes through the goalposts at the very top, maybe a foot below at worst.
This kick traveled (if my math is right I will defer to @bluecoconuts and @Mackeyser who math and stuff and know parabolas <whuts those?> better than I do) about 85 yards. Or would have if there was no net to catch it.
It went as far as a kickoff that would hit the ground at the very, very back of the end zone or out of it.
Usually kicks from this distance that are good glide over near the bottom or a few feet above the crossbar, at most 10-15 feet above it. NEVER at the top of the uprights. EVER. And can you think of one that hit about 2/3 of the way up the net? I can't.
IMO this kick would have been good with Hekker setting the ball down at the Rams 47.
And on that subject GREAT job by Tha Ginga Ninja to set it down nicely after a shaky snap.
The Rams won the game on an incredible kick and a great recovery on the snap.
This is one of the top plays in Rams postseason history. Right there with Proehl's amazing catch as far as I am concerned. I think this kick will be talked about even more.
If anyone can superimpose the Jetsons car sound from the point of the kick on I would be in your debt.
I think it's the perfect sound for this play.
