NFL kickers make about 75% from that distance, so I have no issue with McD's decision. I thought for sure he would punt and leave it entirely in the hands of his defense. At the same time, that means that kicking Prater to the curb on the basis of this miss would be a gross overreaction. The sample size is too small to know. It's not like the kick didn't have the distance. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/upshot/nfl-field-goal-kickers-records.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yU8.3YEk.Ltwvfyr8_bLw&smid=url-share
