Stephen Gostkowski played in the Super Bowl a day after his grandfather died
"He was the kindest, funniest man I knew."
Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski played in Super Bowl LIII one day after his grandfather, William Klick, died, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Gostkowski drilled 42- and 41-yard field goals, kicked an extra point, and missed one field goal in New England’s 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He’s now 6 for 8 on field goals in Super Bowls, and he helped the Patriots pull away Sunday night.
Reiss noted that Gostkowski wanted to dedicate his last kick to Klick, whom Gostkowski called “the kindest, funniest man I knew.”
