A camera wire appeared to cost the Minnesota Vikings three points Sunday when the ball deflected off it and resulted in a missed field goal.
The Vikings took on the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Late in the fourth quarter, the Vikings trailed 17-14 when the team sent out kicker Will Reichard to attempt a game-tying 51-yard field goal.
Reichard’s kick initially looked to be going right down the middle. Suddenly, however, it veered violently to the right and landed way outside the goalpost. Although the flags on top of the goalpost indicated there was a breeze moving in that direction, it was nowhere near severe enough to alter the trajectory of the ball like that.
