We haven't been able to find video of this snow-plagued game from the end of the 1983 season, but the official game summary lists this 24 yard attempt in the final 2 minutes of the game as a missed doink. The miss wouldn't impact the final score, as the Saints wouldn't sniff the endzone (or the uprighht) all game.

With seconds left in the 4th quarter of a tied game, John Kasay had an opportunity to seal the win for the visiting Panthers. Instead, Kasay doinked the upright, and the game headed to overtime, where Kasay redeem himself with a clean kick to end the day.

Lights, camera, - DOINK. In a well out-of-hand game for the hapless Bills facing down the thick of the New England Brady-era, Rian Lindell achieved a 1 of 1 doink, managing to hit an upright mounted camera (instead of the upright itself). No fine for Lindell has ever been assessed for damaging NFL equipment.

Normally, preseason games aren't noteworthy. This one is mostly no exception - one caveat, though: Another almost doink (nullified by a penalty) occurred in this same game.

If the theory is that made doinks have a negative impact on the opposing team, then it would be reasonable to think that missed doinks have a negative impact on the kicking team (both anecdotally in terms of team psychology and statistically in terms of EPA). Given that this missed XP came at the beginning of the infamous 28-3 comeback, we have to wonder if this doink just pissed Tom Brady off even more. Sorry, Falcons fans.

In the following season after the Patriots and Falcons Super Bowl showdown, the week 7 rematch saw a far more lop-sided game, with Atlanta only mustering 7 points on the day. Part way through the 3rd quarter, Matt Bryant doinked a 36 yard attempt off the upright. More notable than the doink is the fog that descended on Foxborough during the game, of which Tom Brady said, "I have never seen that. It was just so still out there. The fog had no place to go. I don’t think it affected much, really, at the end of the day. I’m sure it looked cool on TV, though." Matt Bryant may (or may not) disagree.
