Chapter 7: Kickers spend most of their career on the sideline. The actual act of kicking a football is an infrequent part of the game. 23-year National Football League veteran John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints) shares his strategy for blocking out the noise. Also hear from fellow NFL veterans Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), Matt Stover (Baltimore Ravens), Eddie Murray (Detroit Lions), Jeff Jaeger (Los Angeles Raiders, Chicago Bears), and Nate Kaeding (San Diego Chargers) explain how they passed the time to stay mentally ready to win the game when called upon.

Chapter 8: We asked the game’s best kickers about their favorite game winning moments. From two Pro Bowl winning kicks 25 years apart, to playoff winners, and kicks that sent teams to the Super Bowl, hear about the moments that define a kicker’s career in their own words. One game winner featured Kansas City Chief Nick Lowery receiving a threat from Pittsburgh Steeler Jack Lambert while another is a little-known secret behind Morten Andersen’s game winning kick over the Minnesota Vikings in the 1998 NFC Championship game that sent the Atlanta Falcons to their first the Super Bowl.
