Morten Andersen recalls Falcons’ big kick

When it comes to the greatest moments in Atlanta sports history, The Kick may be second only to Sid Bream’s dramatic slide for the Braves at home plate in the seventh game of the 1992 National League Championship Series.

The Kick took place Jan. 17, 1999 in the NFC Championship game, when Morten Andersen’s 39-yard field goal from the left hash at the Metrodome sent the Falcons to what is still their only Super Bowl appearance.
