64.3
That's Nick "the Push" Folk's success percentage on field goals this year. That number is frightening low in today's game, but I went back to put his "failure" in historical context.
Here are the five best seasons for Lou "the Toe" Groza, the most heralded kicker from the straight-ahead, kick-with-your-toe era:
| Year | FG % |
| '53 | 88.5 % |
| '61 | 69.9% |
| '50 | 68.4% |
| '54 | 66.7% |
| '63 | 65.2% |
If Nick Folk were kicking in the early '60s, he would be a star. Unfortunately for him, he kicks in 2009. After last night's gaffe, he probably wishes he could build that time machine in his garage and join The Toe.
