Randy Moss Scores Two 28-Yard Field Goals Before Broncos-Texans MNF Game

Despite playing 14 seasons as a wide receiver in the NFL, Randy Moss may have fared well as a kicker as well, apparently.

Randy Moss Scores Two 28-Yard Field Goals Before Broncos-Texans MNF Game

Prior to the Denver Broncos’ home win over the Houston Texans on Monday night, Moss, 39, showed off his kicking skills by successfully drilling a field goal from 28 yards out — twice. After successfully making the kick in a suit and dress shoes, Moss celebrated by dancing like one of those inflatable arm-flailing air dancer things stationed in front of used car lots.

Moss and his fellow ESPN analysts, Charles Woodson, Matt Hasselbeck, and Steve Young also attempted from the same distance, but the latter three failed.

Moss may have proven to be an asset for both the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals, who tied 6-6 in overtime on Sunday after each team missed one field goal from a similarly short distance.

Arizona’s Chandler Catanzaro and Seattle’s Stephen Hauschka both missed game-winning attempts from slightly shorter distances at the University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday.

“Did you catch every interception thrown your way?” Moss asked Woodson.

“No. Not every one.”

“Kickers are allowed to miss,” Moss concluded.
