Just as a point of reference, for the year 2012, NFL kickers overall are 67 of 72 for kicks from 30-39 yards. That is a rate of 93%. The field was not sloppy. It was raining but the footing was pretty firm. The probability was extremely high that Suisham would make that kick. The outrage over not kicking on 3rd down is misplaced.
