After Days of Intense Pressure, Seahawks Kicker Jason Myers Admits Moment of Lost Focus Led to the "Costliest" Missed Kick – And the NFL Hiding His Panic Footage Has Sent the Seahawks Community Into Meltdown

Inglewood, California. November 19, 2025

Days after the heartbreaking 21–19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Seattle Seahawks are still dealing with the fallout from one of the most painful moments of their season. At the center of the storm is veteran kicker Jason Myers, who was entrusted with a 61 yard field goal attempt with five seconds remaining — a kick that could have reshaped the NFC West race. The ball sailed wide right, triggering an eruption of anger throughout Seahawks Nation. And this morning, Myers finally broke his silence.

Standing before the media, he acknowledged what millions had sensed through their screens:

“I lost focus for just one second… and in the NFL, one second is enough to cost you a game, a chance, even the trust of the people standing beside you; I know what everyone saw, I know how much that kick meant to my teammates and the entire team, and it’s a mistake I’ll probably carry with me for the rest of my life — because moments like that can change an entire season.”

His admission marked the first time he publicly recognized the enormous pressure weighing on him — especially after fans discovered that the NFL abruptly removed a video showing Myers visibly panicking before the kick, shaking his hands, breathing heavily, and clearly struggling to stay composed. The footage disappearing from official league platforms immediately sparked outrage, with Seahawks fans questioning the league’s transparency:

Why remove it? Who is the NFL protecting? And what is the real reason behind hiding the clip?

On the field, the Seahawks fought like a team worthy of winning. Geno Smith threw two touchdowns — one to DK Metcalf and one to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The defense generated two crucial turnovers, giving Seattle the opening it needed for a late comeback. But the Rams countered with 98 rushing yards and a touchdown from Kyren Williams, plus a sharp strike from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua.

Seattle did everything required to win — except convert the final kick.

FOX Sports called the sequence a “heartbreaker,” a moment that could haunt the Seahawks throughout the playoff race. And now, with the NFL under fire for seemingly hiding a controversial video, the frustration among Seattle’s fanbase has only intensified.

Seattle heads into a defining stretch of the season with zero room for error. But even as the season continues, that 61 yard kick — and everything surrounding it — will linger for a long time.

And for Jason Myers, it may be the moment that alters the trajectory of his career.
