Hollywood legend Danny DeVito are among the millions of NFL<\/a> fans in disbelief after New York Giants kicker Younghoe Koo produced one of the biggest blunders ever seen.<\/p>\n

With the struggling Giants trailing New England 17-7 in the second quarter, Koo lined up a 46-year-old field goal that would have cut the margin to one possession.<\/p>\n

But it all unravelled in bizarre fashion.<\/p>\n

Koo somehow managed to kick the turf and make no contact with the ball.<\/p>\n

Holder Jamie Gillan was left holding the ball and tried to salvage the play before he was quickly swarmed on by multiple Patriots players.<\/p>\n

It resulted in a turnover on downs in the middle of the ground.<\/p>\n

Fans and commentators were savage in their assessment of the strange moment.<\/p>\n

Legendary actor Danny DeVito, who was commentating the match alongside Peyton and Eli Manning on Manningcast, couldn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen that (before), I\u2019ve never seen that … what the hell was that?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Social media was unforgiving.<\/p>\n

\u201cYounghoe Koo just did the unthinkable,\u201d one commentator said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiants kicker Younghoe Koo with one of the most embarrassing plays in NFL history,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe literally missed the ball while attempting to kick the field goal. We will never see anything like this again. Oh my goodness,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGotta give Younghoe Koo credit because I\u2019ve never seen this before,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m Younghoe Koo I think I go ahead and just unplug from life, change the name, move to Canada, become a maple syrup salesman. Only way to recover from that is to completely cut ties with the world. No other realistic option,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n

The Patriots quickly responded with another touchdown before adding two more fields before half-time to open up a commanding 30-7 lead.<\/p>\n

Koo didn\u2019t have another attempt in the match with the Giants pulling off a successful two-point conversation after their touchdown in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

The Patriots ran out comfortable 33-15 winners to maintain their standing at the top of the AFC East.<\/p>\n

Koo\u2019s blunder could see him lose his spot on the team.<\/p>\n

Kickers are notoriously let go after one or two poor performances.<\/p>\n

Koo had spent most of the season on the practice squad, but was elevated to starting duties due to an injury to regular kicker Graham Gano four week ago.<\/p>\n

The veteran was perfect in his previous four field goal attempts, while had missed just one extra point.<\/p>\n

Koo, who was born in South Korea, spent the previous six seasons at the Atlanta Falcons before joining the Giants.<\/p>\n
