Overview
- Lining up for a 47-yard attempt at Gillette Stadium, Koo struck the turf instead of the ball, and holder Jamie Gillan was tackled for a 13-yard loss that went down as a turnover on downs.
- Because no contact was made with the ball, the play did not count as a field-goal attempt in the box score and was recorded as a sack/rush by the holder.
- Koo said postgame that cold conditions and a slipping, moving ball led him to pull up on his swing, a view interim coach Mike Kafka supported after reviewing the hold.
- The gaffe went viral with stunned reactions from the Manningcast and guest Danny DeVito, adding to a night that also featured a 94-yard return allowed and a New York fumble on a kick return.
- New York fell to 2-11 with a seventh straight defeat; with Graham Gano on injured reserve and multiple kickers used this season, it remains unclear who will handle kicks after the upcoming bye.
