GETTING HIS KICKS, THIRD TIMES A CHARM

After two crucial misses against the Packers in this past Sunday’s NE Championship, kicker Lawrence Tyres didn’t wait for Giants Tom Coughlin to order the field goal unit out on a 4th and 5 from the Packers’ 30 yard line. He told post game interviewers he basically ran out on his own (a fact confirmed by Coach Coughlin as well) and then absolutely drilled the longest field goal in a playoff game, by an opponent, in the history of Green Bay’s Lambau Field, 47 yards. This kick would have been good from 57, as it flew and flew into Giants and National Football League lore.
