5 game-altering doinks
A ★ marks a made doink (the kicker successfully converted). Game-altering means a kick that would have forced overtime or changed the outcome — a make by a losing team or a miss by a winning team isn't game-altering because the result wouldn't change.

In 2025, 5 doinked kicks showed up in big ways on the box score; they may not have been recorded as doinks, but these attempts were headline worthy - for better or for worse.

Our cemetery mourns the loss for these teams, defeated by the doink.

1 game-altering made doink
A ★ marks a made doink (the kicker successfully converted). Game-altering means a kick that would have forced overtime or changed the outcome — a make by a losing team or a miss by a winning team isn't game-altering because the result wouldn't change.

Eddy Piñeiro's made doink in OT was the game winner in week 5 for the 49ers against their divisional rival Rams.

Where Piñeiro's doink won a game, four others cost theirs.

4 game-altering missed doinks
Game-altering means a kick that would have forced overtime or changed the outcome — a make by a losing team or a miss by a winning team isn't game-altering because the result wouldn't change.

Tyler Loop's missed extra point early on in this matchup between Baltimore and Buffalo was the score difference in a 40-41 Ravens loss to the Bills. It may not have been enough on its own to win in regulation, but 1 more point would've forced overtime.

The 2025 Graveyard of Game-Altering Doinks may not be sprawling, but I'm not sure that matters to Jaguars fans.
