NFL Twitter reacts to Saints kicker Will Lutz’s double-doink
Many fans are seeing similarities between Lutz’s unfortunate field goal miss and Cody Parkey’s in 2019 during the NFC Wild Card game. It’s a fair comparison, each resulted in a frustrating loss.
Another made a jab at Parkey with a gif of an annoyed-looking Chicago Bears coach and a caption, “Bears realizing they’re no longer the only ones.”
One fan thought outside the box with a reference to WWE’s Doink the Clown. The fan Tweeted a gif of two clowns in the ring and captioned it, “The rare double Doink.”
And there were more where those came from.
The situation was certainly frustrating for Saints fans, but it created some great reactions, at least.
