New England Patriots fans who stayed up Monday night saw what looked like a career turnaround for an infamous draft pick.
Bill Belichick raised eyebrows when he and his staff selected Chad Ryland in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The 25-year-old made a miraculous game-winning kick on Christmas Day last year, but he notoriously was remembered for his blunders.
Ryland seemed to put that behind him when he nailed a game-winner Monday night to give the Arizona Cardinals the victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. It was the second game-winning kick this season for Ryland, who’s made six of seven field goals and all four of his extra-point attempts in three games.
