Watch: Bucs’ Nick Folk Misses Three Field Goals In Loss To Patriots, Twitter Reacts

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a 19-14 home loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday night, and one of the standout poor performances of the game was that of Nick Folk.

Nick Folk Field Goal Misses

The Bucks kicker — who is replacing the recently-released Robert Aguayo — missed all three of his field goal attempts. One in particular was a 49-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter, as Tampa trailed 16-7. Of course, 49 yards is no easy distance from which to boot a field goal, but Folk’s kick was way off the mark:

Tom Brady finished 30 of 40 for 303 yards and a touchdown to Chris Hogan, and was sacked three times. New England was missing Rob Gronkowski, who sat out with a thigh injury.

The Patriots (3-2, 2nd in AFC East) next visit the New York Jets on Oct. 15, when the Bucs (2-2, 4th in NFC South) visit the Arizona Cardinals.
