With the game — and his 35-kick streak of consecutive made home field goals — on the line, Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano delivered.
Gano’s 63-yard boom with one second left in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants put the Panthers ahead 33-31, and when New York’s ill-fated kickoff return eventually rolled out of bounds, sealed the victory for Carolina.
Gano’s kick came after quarterback Cam Newton and the Panthers offense led a game-winning drive with just over a minute left to play, following a touchdown from New York running back Saquon Barkley. A 20-yard pass to receiver DJ Moore across the middle, then a Christian McCaffrey catch and run, ultimately didn’t give Gano excellent field position, but rather just enough to have a shot at the winner.
