FOR A MOMENT, Charlie Smyth looked set to be the New Orleans Saints’ hero for the second week running.
The Mayobridge man – who marked his return to the Saints squad with the winning point in overtime against the Cleveland Browns last week – came up with the goods again on Sunday with a clutch 55-yard field goal inside the final minute against the Carolina Panthers.

Smyth’s kick tied up the game at 17-17 with just 41 seconds to play, but there was nothing he could do to prevent one final twist in the tale as Panthers quarterback Bryce Young led a game-winning drive, setting up Smyth’s opposite number Ryan Fitzgerald for a 54-yard field goal on the final play of the game and a 20-17 win.
Charlie Smyth ties it up from 57 yards out!
