Thank you for making this video. Nick is my uncle and I love watching old clips about him. When I was a kid I’d watch him kick 70 yarders in practice easily. He was incredible to watch in person. It was a lot of fun going to Chiefs games back then to watch him. Good times
Nick Lowery was a awesome kicker! I didn't know he tryed out with the Pats, I have a close friend who's from KC and I use to clown him that thier beat player of all time was Nick Lowery. I will be sending him a link to this video.
You mentioned how Nick Lowery had very few missed extra points in the 1980s. I’ll always remember one, since it was against My Beloved Seahawks in 1983. The Chiefs scored a late touchdown to go up 48-45. Lowery then missed the extra point. Seahawks Kicker Norm Johnson then made a 42-yard field goal to send the game into overtime, then hit another 42-yarder to win it in OT, 51-48. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you also made videos on the following: 1. Eric Schubert’s debut as a Giants kicker in 1985 in which he went 5/5 in Giants Stadium, which, like Soldier Field, is not an easy place to kick. 2. How Lowery clinched the Chiefs 10-6 playoff victory over the Raiders in 1991 thanks to a video game Head Coach Marty Schottenheimer played against his son Brian. 3. How Lions Kicker Jason Hanson kicked the game winning field goal in the 1994 season opener against the Falcons with a broken foot.
Nick the Kick// DeBerg was injured in that game as well and threw for nearly 300 yards- a watermark for that period. The world needs to know about DeBerg's long career as a journeyman mentor
As a Chiefs fan who started following them in '89, I really only remember Nick Lowery's misses more than anything. Even this game, he missed on his only XP attempt (not mentioned in the video), that's all I really remember. I have to watch vids like this one to really appreciate Nick Lowery's career; and to be reminded he was injured and gutted out this performance, missed XP notwithstanding.
Wow Hats off, This is one of my Favorite Channels. But when I seen the Title As one of the Greatest Games by a Chief Kicker and it was Nick Lowery my 1st impression was "Oh hold up" Lol. I then Watched the video and I agree. However I had in mind the Game Last Year when Justin Hebert had his Rookie Debut against Patrick Mahomes. Hebert got a last second nod to start. Justin Hebert went on to absolutely own the chiefs Defense and Mahomes was put in check by the chargers defense. A Classic Quarterback Duel for the ages was unfolding. As Hebert led his team in the 4th to take the lead late, of Course From the Ashes arose Mahomes with his magic. Setting the stage for what I felt at the time for one of the most insane Performances I had ever seen by a Kicker "Harrison Butker" Who I felt Upstaged it all. Earlier in the game Butker had broke the chiefs record with a 58 yrd FG. In overtime Mahomes Does his thing setting up Butker for a 53 yrd Fg try for the win. From 53 yards out under the pressure of A game winning FG from a long 53 yrds. The Snap the kick it's good! Wait a Flag offsides. Move it back 5 yrds. Now Butker has to hit it from his earlier Record Breaking Distance 58 yrds. The odds right? The Snap the kick it's long enough it's good! Wait Timeout Ice the Kicker! One more attempt this time with Feeling. The Snap the Kick it's long enough and once again its GOOD!!!. 3 IN A ROW, UNDER 4TH QUARTER GAME WINNING CONDITIONS AFTER ALREADY HITTING A CHIEFS RECORD 58 YARDER. THUS OVERSHADOWING THE FUTURE RIVALRY JUSTIN HEBERT VS PATRICK MAHOMES By not just breaking the chiefs record of 58 yrds but doing it x3 in the same game! Although x1 Didnt count. But breaking and tying his own record in the same game is pretty cool to// LIKE BRADY WAS TO MANNING. AN INCREDIBLE GAME ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE OF ALL TIME. JUST THOUGHT ID SHARE THAT. BUT I NEVER KNEW NICK LOWERY DID THIS. YOU GOT ME ON THIS ONE 👍🏈❤👍 BE BLESSED
A reliable kicker for the KC Chiefs teams 1980's to 1990's booted a 58 yd field goal and now a humanitarian in Arizona helps raise money for homeless people nick lowery foundation.
Speaking of the Chiefs, how about the Week 1 game of the 1978 season where they had 69 rushing attempts? What was Marv Levy's thought process for doing that?
Nick Lowery was the second kicker in Chiefs' history. Jane Stenerud was the first. Stenerud was also considered one of the most accurate kickers of his time.
@@daBEAGLE1017 more like back to ‘87 when they began to lose 2 or more of the last 4 games on a reg season schedule consistently and much of them to quality opponents like Jason Wilkins said
@@82dorrin I remember a game against my Broncos in 87', where he missed two FGs to help them clinch a play-off spot. I was floored (so were the announcers, who I think were Charlie Jones and Jimmy Cefalo?), because Nick almost never missed.
With or WITHOUT the bad knee Nick Lowery and the Kansas City Chiefs are STILL not even good ENOUGH to reach a 39.6. They are WAY BETTER OFF just SPIKING the football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!

That's awesome! He was an amazing kicker and seems like a great guy
Nick Lowery doing good work today working in his community with the homeless and at-risk youth.
I always loved watching Lowery kick FGs. He's absolutely one of the best to ever do it.
From Jan Stenerud to Nick Lowery. The Chiefs had top kickers for over a quarter century
Jan was a great kicker.
Absolutely
..
And then Lin Elliott happened and ruined 1995
8 is the number of perfection and with that stash oh let me tell you nick was a perfect man

While you are on injuries and the 1990 Chiefs... you really need to do a video on Steve DeBerg's finger. It is still legend in Kansas City.

I meet lowery in the videogame tecmo super bowl. When i was a kid.
The best kicker in the game.
Lowery should be in the HoF.
Back in 1989 a radio station in kc would play missed again by Phil Collins after missing several kicks against Cleveland. Great stuff
Loved Nick Lowery in the 80s and 90s
Nick Lowery played with a pulled groin and had a perfect day.
I loved Nick Lowery, great kicker!!!

Lowery won many games for the chiefs
BEST OF ALL TIME

One of the best of all time! Butker and Lowrey have a lot in common
Another great video. What a performance by Lowery on that date, who really was one of the better kickers of the 90s in the NFL.
At that point I remember Lowery had the record for most career 50 yd. or longer FGs. (I forgot the number)
Do a video on Rob Bironus’ 8 field goal game
The grass at Soldier Field was horse$#!t, too. Ask Kevin Butler.
31 Years Ago
Speaking of the Chiefs, how about the Week 1 game of the 1978 season where they had 69 rushing attempts? What was Marv Levy's thought process for doing that?
Marv Levy thought that the team didn't have a QB, so he was just going to run the Wishbone and the T-formation all season
Surprised whole game not uploaded still
Kickers should be smoking a cigarette, reading the racing form, put out the cigarette and kicking the field goal.
Nick Lowery was the second kicker in Chiefs' history. Jane Stenerud was the first. Stenerud was also considered one of the most accurate kickers of his time.
I can believe it the Chicago bears back there always finding ways to lose the big games
To be fair, the early 90s is when it began and continues to this day.
Bear Down.
@@daBEAGLE1017 Thank the McCaskeys for long term ineptitude. Also Da Coach, for starting a midget fresh off the street in the 86' loss to Washington.
@@daBEAGLE1017 more like back to ‘87 when they began to lose 2 or more of the last 4 games on a reg season schedule consistently and much of them to quality opponents like Jason Wilkins said
In '95 when Linn Elliot missed wide right three times in the Colts' game... ... ... That was a really hard loss for Chiefs' fans.
Hate to point it out, but if they won 21-10 that means Lowery missed an extra point.
Nick "The Kick" Lowery.....
Also "Ninja" Nick, wasn't he? (Broncos' fan here). :P
@@82dorrin IDK, never heard that one.....lol
Too bad he wasn't kicking 25 years earlier, he could've been Flowery Lowery, the hippie kicker.
@@82dorrin I remember a game against my Broncos in 87', where he missed two FGs to help them clinch a play-off spot. I was floored (so were the announcers, who I think were Charlie Jones and Jimmy Cefalo?), because Nick almost never missed.
If only he'd been this automatic in the wild card game against Miami
And then the next kicker for the Chiefs misses three field goals in a playoff game…
😢
Mention his name in Kansas City to this day and you'll gets looks of disdain and derision
With or WITHOUT the bad knee Nick Lowery and the Kansas City Chiefs are STILL not even good ENOUGH to reach a 39.6. They are WAY BETTER OFF just SPIKING the football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!
Wasn't Jan stenroud also on the same team as lowery
Yes, but he was retired at the time Lowery came aboard, if I recall correctly. Almost like a passing of the All Pro kicking torch 🙂
I thought this was going to be a Jan Stenerud vid...
Kicking a cold ball must have been tough
He missed the game winner the next week it was short. I wonder if it was the injury.
Holding call against Dave Szott put it at the edge of his range at this point in his career.
It was dead center too. Lucky win for my team and foreshadowing of another big miss later in that postseason.
@@DolFan316 and that missed field goal happened in Florida just like the miss from Lowery
They won 21-10? Did he miss an extra point?
yep
Talk about Houston vs Bills the come back in the playoffs
21 points. Did Kansas City score a touchdown and missed the extra ppint?
Yep, Okoye scored on a 3 yard run and Nick missed the XP.
I was born in 1986.. But I know who Nick Lowery is..
dood made more FG than Jan Stenerud but still not in HOF WTH?
