Notes: Matt Prater after kicking game-winning field goal: “I kind of black out”

One can imagine there’s just nothing like kicking a game-winning field goal. Even after all his time in the league, Matt Prater still feels the pure, unbridled excitement.

“I honestly don’t know what happens to me after a game winner because everybody goes so crazy. I kind of black out,” Prater said Sunday after the win. “I usually say a bunch of things, I don’t even know what I’m saying, headbutt Jack (Fox) and Mule (Don Muhlbach) and celebrate with everybody — it’s fun.”

Prater kicked a 39-yarder to secure a 26-23 win against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.
