Nick Folk made a ‘Top Gun’ reference in describing his approach to kicking

Nick Folk got his chance at redemption on Sunday.

The veteran kicker made all four of his field goals in the Patriots’ 25-22 win over the Texans, including the game-winning field goal with 15 seconds left.

Sunday’s game-winning kick helped Folk avenge his missed extra-point attempt in the first quarter. It also came a week after Folk missed a 56-yard field goal that would’ve given the Patriots a two-point lead over the Buccaneers with less than a minute remaining.

Even though he had a costly miss last week and one that could’ve cost the Patriots another win this week, Folk tries not to think about his previous misses when his number’s called.
