Smyth 'Absolutely Buzzing' After NFL Debut, Kicks 56-Yard Field Goal

New Orleans Saints kicker Charlie Smyth made his NFL debut in a 21-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins, kicking a 56-yard field goal for his first NFL points and executing an onside kick. Elevated to the starting roster after Blake Grupe was cut, Smyth, a product of the international player pathway, expressed he was "absolutely buzzing." Head coach Kellen Moore praised his "phenomenal" kick, noting Smyth signed with the Saints in March 2024 and had been waiting for his regular season opportunity.
