\n

New York Giants kicker<\/a> Younghoe Koo had arguably the most bizarre field goal attempt in recent memory during Monday night\u2019s loss to the New England Patriots, but his explanation of the botched kick was even more bizarre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, with the Giants trailing by 10, Koo took to the field to line up for a 47-yard field goal attempt in hopes of narrowing the lead to just one score before halftime. But Koo, who was released by the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> earlier this season after a crucial miss, made contact with the turf, missing the ball entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A scramble for the ball ensued, and holder Jamie Gillan was tackled for what was recorded as a 13-yard sack by Jeremiah Pharms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The botched kick went viral on social media, including rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart\u2019s<\/a> sideline reaction to the mishap.<\/p>\n

After the game, Koo seemed to point the finger at the cold weather at Foxborough and a moving ball.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I was approaching the ball and, cold weather, the ball kind of slipped out at the bottom so it was moving,” Koo said, via the New York Post.<\/u><\/a> “I wasn\u2019t able to kick through the ball. The ball was moving when I was driving to it, so I just pulled up on it.”<\/p>\n

“Jamie did a good job of catching it and putting it back,” he added, “but, at that point, it was too late.”<\/p>\n

Koo\u2019s failed attempt wasn\u2019t New York\u2019s only mishap on special teams. Gunner Olszewski also fumbled on a kickoff return late in the first half after being sandwiched on a tackle by Marte Mapu and Christian Elliss.<\/p>\n

The Patriots<\/a> recovered on the Giants\u2019 27 and eventually added Andy Borregales\u2019 second field goal of the half.<\/p>\n

The Patriots picked up their 10th straight win with the 33-15 victory, and both teams head into a late bye week.<\/p>\n
