I love blocked field goals. I mean, I don’t love when the Green Bay Packers have a field goal blocked, but in a vacuum, blocked field goals are super fun. No other play has the potential to swing a game quite so dramatically, as the block itself automatically wipes out 3 points and any return can flip things completely on its head.
Indeed, two of the biggest plays in the Packers’ recent win against the Washington Football Team were blocked field goals, on back-to-back drives in the second quarter. The first came with 11:26 remaining in the first half, as the hilariously named Chris Blewitt did the thing that he’s named for, costing his team 3.
