Nick Folk missed his initial two field goals last fall for the New England Patriots.
The veteran kicker hasn’t missed another since.
Sunday at MetLife Stadium, that gave way to history. Despite missing an extra point, Folk set the franchise record with 33 consecutive field goals after converting from 46, 49, 32 and 26 yards against his former New York Jets.
“I’ve heard,” Folk told reporters during his postgame press conference, “but that doesn’t matter to me really. I’ve never been one for records.”
The 36-year-old proceeded to thank holder Jake Bailey, long snapper Joe Cardona, special teams coordinator Cam Achord, special teams assistant Joe Houston and head coach Bill Belichick.
