CHARGERS KICKER FILMED PEEING ON SIDELINE AT NFL GAME MINUTES BEFORE MISSING A KICK AND LOSING THE GAME

There are several reasons why people thought Nick Novak, the place kicker for the San Diego Chargers, had a disappointing performance at Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.
In this case, his actions on and off the field qualify.
Not only did he miss two critical kicks, but the criticism can also be taken quite literally as he was spotted urinating on the sidelines in the fourth quarter.
A CBS cameraman caught the 30-year-old kicker taking a knee as he appeared to relieve himself into a Gatorade cup.
One of the team assistants graciously helps the man out, attempting to give him a shred of privacy by blocking him with a towel.
The move, though disgusting, was likely meant as a way to show his dedication to the team.
Place kickers, like Mr Novak, become vitally important during the final moments of an NFL game because they may be used in a strategy for fledgling teams to retain the ball.
This was certainly true in the case of the Chargers on Sunday as they ended up losing 13-16 to the Broncos.
The game was rather close, meaning that Mr Novak was fair to assume that all eyes would be on the field when nature called with only 1:34 left on the clock.
Minutes after he was caught trying to be discrete, Mr Novak was called on field during overtime when he tried- and failed- to make a 53-yard field goal.
