The first field goal of the Reichard missed poorly. It seems that for a good reason.
Kiker Viking took a 51-fair field goal against brows at the end of the Sunday game in London. The ball seemed to head for the rack, then made a right turn and missed very widely.

It seems that the Cleveland Special Teams unit received assistance from equipment at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. This was not obvious in real time. But the reproduction of a slow motion seems to show that the ball hit the chamber cable along the way before turning to the right.
The video is not final. But this is convincing. The diagonal chamber cable is clearly visible during repeated reproduction.
When the ball crosses the path of the cable, it changes direction. But the officials did not catch this. Also did not do the Vikings. The head coach Kevin O'Connell did not protest and did not protest on the problem. Reichard did not seem to have noticed himself.

Thus, the brownies entered into the fall in the fall and had leadership 17-14. If the officials confirmed that the ball was in the cable, the Vikings would be awarded a rested and second chance of the field goal in the fourth quarter.
Whether the Reichard is ideal for field purposes not thanks anymore, obviously, for the Skycam cable.

Fortunately for the Vikings, failure did not cost them in the long run. Minnesota rallied for victory 21-17 Improve to 3-2 and remain competitive in the north NFC. However, the ideal season of Reichard’s blows is no longer. Now he is 8 for 9 for field purposes with Sunday miss.

And this was not the only incident on Sunday, when the equipment for the camera influenced the direction of a living ball. In New Jersey Cowboy, Rusher Dante Fowler takes place, rejected the passage of the defender Justin Justin Fields from his helmet. The ball jumped high into the air and hit the sky on the sky before bouncing back on the field at an awkward angle.
Karum prevented any chance when intercommunication. But, as in London, the play did not affect the result of the game. A Cowboys went to win 37-22 Without a lost shot when ensuring turnover.
