The moment is certainly deserving of the award and the recognition that it got, as it was an incredible kick as time winded down and the clock hit all zeroes. The ball hit off of the crossbar and bounced in, adding to the suspense of the whole thing, with everything coming together to create the NFL’s moment of the year for 2022.
