Giants K Younghoe Koo kicks turf instead of ball in bizarre botched field goal vs. Giants like you've never seen

You've probably never seen a field goal flub like this. Almost certainly not in the NFL.

With the New England Patriots holding a 17-7 lead in the first half of Monday's game against the Giants, New York had a shot to close the gap to one possession. Tight end Theo Johnson couldn't hang on to a contested deep pass in the end zone from Jaxson Dart, so the Giants settled for a 47-yard field-goal attempt by Younghoe Koo.

But there was one big problem with Koo's field-goal effort. He failed to kick the ball. Instead, he kicked the turf. Seriously.

Here's what it looked like via an overhead camera from the end zone. It wasn't initially clear from that angle what happened. Koo wound up to kick the ball, and nobody from the Patriots got close, much less blocked it.

But the ball was never kicked, and holder Jamie Gillan scrambled with it before getting tackled behind the line of scrimmage.

The sideline camera angle told the story.

Koo's right toe planted in the turf a few inches behind the ball and got stuck. He never touched the ball. It was like a chunk shot with a pitching wedge that gets lodged in the dirt.

Dart looked on in disbelief as the Giants came away from the possession with no points.

The effort didn't even count as an attempt in the box score. Instead, the Giants' possession ended in a turnover on downs.

At least for Koo, he didn't get hit with a miss in the stat book. But that wasn't of much solace for the Giants, who continued to trail by 10 against a Patriots team that was taking control of the game.
