Billy Cundiff has a good excuse for missing the game-tying field goal in the AFC Championship game on Sunday.
He was hammered.
The Baltimore Ravens kicker says he usually has a few sips of tequila to “calm his nerves” before each attempt, but lost track of how much he drank before the biggest field goal try of his career.
After the kick sailed wide left, the boozy Cundiff angered his teammates by raising his arms in celebration.
“In my defense, I was seeing double,” explained the kicker. “The ball sailed right through the goalpost I was aiming for.”
