NFL announcer Adam Amin brutally jinxed Cardinals kicker Matt Prater before a 55-yard kick

The dreaded announcer curse strikes again!

Nobody has made more 50-plus-yard field goals than Matt Prater in NFL history. And during the opening minutes of the Arizona Cardinals’ matchup with the New York Giants, he was set to add to that mark on a 55-yard attempt.

There was just one problem — Prater had to overcome an announcer “curse.” Ruh-oh.

Before Prater’s attempt, Amin — who was just doing his job by providing context for the viewing audience, to be clear — mentioned the kicker’s exemplary history from high-distance kicks. Predictably, Prater missed his long kick wide just left because no one can ever overcome an announcer “curse.”

It might as well be a bylaw in the football rulebook:

If it’s any consolation for Prater, at least this miss happened early in the first quarter and not in a tight situation for the Cardinals.
