I wish we hadn't needed him as much today but the Jets came to play...and his 9 points were HUGE.
Imagine the horns he'd be wearing if he'd missed a single kick...drilled 'em all...kid is clutch...and getting more confident.
I think he'd been better off kicking on the road...there's actually more pressure on a rookie kicker at home...especially replacing a franchise figurehead.
we don't notice kickers unless they miss...all year long it was, 'what's he going to do in a close game in January'...he answered the call and then some.
and with a brand new holder!
Peter King has led the Vinatieri doom talk all year long. Guess what, Steven not only makes kicks, but was huge in reasserting field position by taking a couple late return opportunities away from Justin Miller.
let's hear it for Gost!
