New Orleans Saints player Charlie Smyth celebrates his new three-year contract extension after delivering an exceptional performance in a 29-6 victory over the New York Jets.
Charlie Smyth, the New Orleans Saints kicker, delivered a stunning performance on Sunday in his team’s match against the New York Jets, directly contributing to the massive 29-6 victory by scoring 17 points from his kicks. This exceptional performance came as Smyth celebrates renewing his contract with the team for three new years.
Smyth, a former Gaelic football player, was fortunate to receive this new contract and a protected spot on the team’s 53-man roster as a reward for his game-winning long-range free kick that contributed to the victory over the Carolina Panthers in a previous game.
The 24-year-old player was facing two options: either remaining permanently on the team’s roster or being waived, after having been elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on three previous occasions.
Smyth’s performance in Sunday’s game represents his finest moment in the NFL, as he successfully converted five field goals in addition to two extra points, totaling 17 points in a single match.
Following the win, Smyth praised the team’s offensive and defensive units, commending the start of complementary football on the field, saying: “I want to give a massive shout-out to the offense and defense today; we are starting to play true complementary football here.” He added: “The support I’ve received from everyone in New Orleans is incredible. This team stuck together, and that is why we are starting to get the wins.”
According to team statistics, in the four games Smyth has played for the Saints so far, the team has won three. Smyth has achieved significant milestones, including a game-winning kick, a successful onside kick (which typically has a success rate of about 7%), and scoring 17 points in a single game.
