Nocturne For Norwood - Mercury Rev

«Scott Norwood, rarely raises his voice above a whisper

He can fire the shot heard 'round the world now and win a Super Bowl with eight

seconds to play

He’s made only six of eleven outside the 40

And here we go

Lingner ready to snap it back to Reich

Eight seconds to play

Norwood takes a practice swing with the right leg

Everyone up on their feet, watching intently

Norwood reaches down and takes something off his left cleat, now does it again

Still standing up near his holder, concentrating, waiting for the snap

Here we go, the Super Bowl will ride on the right foot of Norwood

Waiting for the snap, Reich, arm extended, puts it down, on the way,

it’s long enough…

And it is no good

He missed it to the right with four seconds to play

It was long enough but it was no good

And Norwood, walking slowly and dejectedly off the field

Scott Norwood missed a 47-yard field goal that would have won the Super Bowl

for the Bills

And over there now with Norwood…»
