What happened to Mike Nugent during his first kick in Sunday’s 33-7 win against the Redskins?
The Patriots kicker, who missed the extra point — his first attempt of any kind as a member of the Patriots — in the first quarter after wide receiver Julian Edelman’s touchdown, said he felt a “little stiff.”
“I think it was a little robotic, kind of like a golf swing,” Nugent said afterward. “If you’re a little stiff and not fluid through the ball, it’s not going to go where you want it to go. Kicking is the same exact way…I think just a little stiffness.
