Neil deGrasse Tyson: Earth's rotation helped Cincy win

[EatonFan]

Sunday's improbable, 27-24 overtime come-from-behind victory came with many reasons and explanations. Famed astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson gives at least partial credit to science.
Kicker Mike Nugent's 42-yard game-winning field goal pinballed off the left upright and through for the win, which Tyson says was aided by the Earth's Coriolis force.

Quote:Today's @Bengals winning OT field goal was likely enabled by a 1/3-in deflection to the right, caused by Earth's Rotation.

Quote:In the N. Hemisphere, Earth's Coriolis force deflects airborne north-south projectiles to the right. About 1/2-in per 50 yds.

Quote:The @Bengals stadium isn't oriented exactly North-South. And the field goal was 42-yds. Yielding a 1/3-in deflection, not 1/2
