Jude McAtamney’s missed extra point with 37 seconds left contributed to the Giants’ loss to the Broncos, leading to his release two days later.
Two days after the New York Giants’ epic collapse to the Denver Broncos, they’ve released one of the players responsible for the 33-32 loss.
Kicker Jude McAtamney, who missed multiple extra points in the loss, including one that would’ve put the Giants up three with just seconds left in the fourth quarter, has been released after playing four games for New York.
McAtamney, a second-year NFL kicker from Northern Ireland, joined the Giants through the league’s International Pathway program. After Graham Gano’s injury in Week 3, McAtamney was elevated to take over kicking duties.
McAtamney, who played college football at Rutgers, started off well for the Giants, making two short field goals and one extra point in his debut against the Los Angeles Chargers.
