Nick Folk lives up to his Rex Ryan nickname with game-winning Jets kick
NY Post
Folk hero, Part Deux.
Somewhere, Rex Ryan is smiling.
Years after Jets kicker Nick Folk was nicknamed that by Ryan when he was the Jets head coach and Folk was in his first stint with the team, Folk was at it again Sunday, kicking the game-winning field goal in a 27-24 Jets win over Atlanta.
“There’s nothing like playing on Sunday in front of fans and getting a chance to help the team win,” Folk said. “Everyone gets to make the sundae. I just get to put the cherry on top. Just happy to help us get a win.”
Aaron Glenn, the rookie Jets head coach, brought Folk in during training camp when the two young kickers he had on the roster weren’t instilling a lot of confidence.
“I played with Nick,” Glenn said, referring to their time together in Dallas. “That’s crazy. We knew that he was going to come in and be able to stabilize [the kicking game].”
