Scott Norwood

Scott Norwood (born July 17, 1960 in Miami, Florida) is a former NFL kicker who played his entire career for the Buffalo Bills. He is most well-known for missing the 47-yard field goal ("wide right") at the end of Super Bowl XXV, giving the New York Giants the victory. Although he had been one of the best kickers in the league that season, even being selected to the Pro Bowl, he never lived down the championship-losing miss, and was out of football after making it to the Super Bowl with Bills again after the 1991 season.
