I didn't forget. And it's still a chip shot.

35 yards and under is routine for kickers at this level. Rookie or not.

You are 100 % correct. Johnson also missed a PAT last week.

Inexcusable.

Yes. Inexcusable. I agree. Especially THREE misses in two games. That's why his ass is gone. But, while 35 and under is routine, it is anything but automatic like the old point after. That's why they picked that distance. Just checked and there were 89 missed extra point attempts across the league in 2020. That's even more than I expected.
