Cardinals were on the road against 4-0 Tampa Bay led by rookie Warrick Dunn. Cardinals had a chance to win with a FG attempt from the right hash mark, the kick was meant to go left towards the uprights but the kick went to the right from the spot he kicked it. I don't think I ever seen a kick go completely the opposite direction intended.

Shame because he came up big the season before. Cardinals picked up backup Dolphins kicker Joe Nedney following the game.
