K Wil Lutz traded to the Broncos for a 2024 7th round pick

I like it. Grupe missed a really long FG. So has Lutz in the past. Grupe made a game winning kick in preseason, granted not a real game but still a similar situation. I'm just happy that Grupe doesn't have the line drive kick problem that Lutz use to have. Remember how many kicks he would have blocked and he even had one blocked this preseason but got bailed out by a penalty. Grupe has a strong leg and good accuracy. We've had way worse in recent years before Lutz.

In 2016, we had three games where a blocked field goal or extra point was returned for a TD or 2-point conversion that was the difference in the game (NYG, CAR, DEN). *EDIT - The CAR return was not for a TD, but it was for 73 yards and clearly led to a CAR TD.

I'll give Lutz a pass on the DEN one that year b/c the guy stepped out of bounds on the return AND the dude who blocked it did the "leap over the line" maneuver that would be declared illegal the next year, but it sure seemed like the dude had more blocked kicks than most.
