News summary

Charlie Smyth, a 22-year-old kicker from Ireland, made history by successfully kicking a 37-yard field goal for the New Orleans Saints, leading them to a 16-14 win against the Arizona Cardinals in his first-ever attempt at any level of American football. Despite the pressure, Smyth remained calm and focused, impressing his teammates and coaches alike, with head coach Dennis Allen praising his composure in a crucial moment. In a parallel highlight, Will Reichard, another rookie kicker, made a game-winning 38-yard field goal for the Minnesota Vikings, earning the nickname 'Walk-off Will' as he sealed a 24-23 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in his NFL debut. Reichard, who was the NCAA's all-time scoring leader, had a mixed performance with one blocked attempt but ultimately secured the win for his team. Both kickers showcased their potential in the preseason games, indicating promising futures in the NFL. As Smyth remains a backup kicker and Reichard the lone kicker for the Vikings, both will look to build on their debut successes in the regular season.
