It has not happened in 4 years.
It had not happened in the last 136 attempts.
It almost never happens. Even among the most skilled and best coached players in the entire league.
And that is exactly how we know luck was involved.
No it is not. That is a complete false equivalency. There have been hundreds of game winning FGs and TDs over the last 4 years, but only ONE conversion of a 3rd-and-25+.
Yes, both of those records involved a lot of luck. That is why the exact same player with the exact same skill level was never able to repeat them.
Harbaugh knows Tucker was lucky to hit that 66 yarder. Justin is only 1 of 3 from 60+ for his career. And that is exactly why Harbaugh would not even have attempted that kick if it had not been with just 3 seconds left in the game.
The 3 and 27 conversion was a result of perfect execution - great read, great call, great pass and great catch. It doesn't matter if it had NEVER happened before. The fact is that it happened in that instance and was a direct result of perfect execution. No luck, no fluke...PERFECT execution.
