Windy field conditions The game at MetLife Stadium was played in windy weather, which made it difficult for both teams’ kickers. While the wind affected both sides, it was cited by head coach Matt LaFleur as a factor in the misses, though he stressed that “you ultimately you got to find a way” in such conditions . The wind likely disrupted Havrisik’s aim and timing, especially in a short-range extra point situation. In-game performance slump Entering the game, Havrisik was perfect on his kicks, but the Giants’ defense and the weather combined to create a tough environment. His misses came on three total extra point attempts, and they were enough to keep the game close — the Packers only won on a two-point conversion and a Jameis Winston interception. This performance was a sharp contrast to his earlier season form, where he was 10-for-10 on kicks. Opportunity cost and team context With Brandon McManus sidelined by a quad injury, Havrisik was given a chance to step in. However, the missed XPs highlighted a lack of consistency, especially in high-pressure, short-range situations. The loss of McManus’ reliability and the difficulty of the conditions meant the team’s kicking unit was under more scrutiny. No clear mechanical fault Reports did not point to a mechanical or training issue as the cause; instead, the combination of weather, opponent pressure, and in-game execution was blamed. LaFleur’s comments suggested the team had practiced in windy conditions and expected to adapt, but the results showed Havrisik’s ability to do so was still in question. In short, Havrisik’s missed extra points were likely due to a mix of adverse weather, defensive pressure, and his own in-game struggles, which together created a situation where even a short kick was difficult to execute reliably.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
