Adam Vinatieri is not of this world.
Sunday’s snow-filled, overtime game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Buffalo Bills truly was a sight to behold. The Bills won 13-7, but the greatest moment of all came in the final minutes of regulation, with the Colts trailing 7-6.
After scoring a touchdown to pull within one, Indy appeared to convert on a two-point conversion to take the lead. But an offensive pass interference negated the play, and forced the Colts to attempt a 43-yard extra point. And Vinatieri, whose snow-kicking prowess with the New England Patriots is the stuff of NFL legend, was more than up to the task.
First, let’s all laugh as the Colts try to clear the ground for Vinatieri.

What a kick, and what a premature celebration from the Bills.
Vinatieri actually had a chance to kick a game-winning field goal in regulation but wound up missing wide left. Can’t make them all.
