I thought this was interesting.

On a side note - Kickers SUCKED in week 1!

I don't get that. They couldn't find a buddy to kick the ball with during Covid?

Is very helpful for kickers to get back used to that real game pressure.

On BBKOL, Feagles talks about how he always wanted to play in those games.

Not sure about real game pressure versus establishing rapport between PK, LS, and Holder. Every PK likes the ball a certain way and if the timing is even the least bit off it can cause kick to go astray.

Well, he did kick the game winner so I'm sure he slept OK. But yeah, it can be quite a roller coaster being an NFL kicker...

I'm sure he looked at his super bowl rings and found a way to sleep comfortably.

I have to admit...

to a Giants PTSD moment during MNF. When Jones threw that red zone interception, I jumped off the sofa and said instinctively, "Oh Eli!!"
