Robbie Gould won the hearts of fellow kickers across the nation just before halftime of the NFC championship on Sunday night.
Gould converted a 38-yard field goal attempt as time expired in the second quarter, giving San Francisco a 10–7 lead. But it wasn’t Gould’s kick that was so inspiring. Gould and Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey got into a heated confrontation, and while Ramsey did manage to drive the kicker back a few yards, Gould didn't back down.
Ramsey has been known to incite a scrum or two in his day, though he may have been punching down to a degree during Sunday’s incident.
