Wil Lutz clarifies postgame comments about blocked field goal

[ASFN Admin]

After the Denver Broncos lost to the New England Patriots by three points in the AFC Championship game, kicker Wil Lutz suggested in his postgame scrum that the field goal unit might not have been lined up correctly on his blocked field goal attempt due to lines being covered by snow.

Lutz had a 45-yard field goal attempt blocked in the fourth quarter, and he noted postgame that the hold might have been one yard too close to the line of scrimmage because they couldn't see the field well. However, the veteran kicker took to Twitter/X with a clarification on Monday, tweeting the following message:

Just to clarify so my words aren’t taken out of context….i was absolutely gutted during my media session after the game. I take full responsibility for the missed kick at the end of the game. We were lined up correctly after looking at the tape. The conditions made it tough to see the lines, but that can never be an excuse. This is on me and no one else. The result of any kick always ends with me. This has been an amazing year that ended in heartbreak for our team. We cannot wait to get back to work and back in front of Broncos Country

Following a 10-7 loss on Sunday, Lutz and the Broncos now turn their attention toward the NFL offseason. The 31-year-old kicker will aim to bounce back in 2026.
