kicker Wil Lutz isn't one to shy from accountability.
So, it didn't surprise that Lutz stood in front of his locker the day after having a 49-yard field goal attempt blocked in the preseason finale against the Baltimore Ravens and patiently answered questions on what went wrong.
"It was a low kick," Lutz said on Sept. 1. "The rhythm was kind of off, contact wasn't great."
Special teams coordinator Bradford Banta agreed, pointing out issues with the entire sequence after having time to review the play.
"It was a combination of stuff," Banta said Saturday in a teleconference.
