Lawrence Tynes expresses confidence in Giants kicker Dominic Zvada

Two-time Super Bowl champion Lawrence Tynes firmly believes New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh will fix kicker Dominic Zvada.

New York Giants rookie kicker Dominic Zvada has shown promise early in the season, kicking 9-for-9 in the first four games. However, he has faltered recently, going 4-for-9 over the last three contests. During the team's Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders, Zvada struggled in challenging weather, going 2-for-5. Following a 0-for-2 performance against the Houston Texans, doubts arose that the Giants might seek alternative kickers during the bye week.

Head coach John Harbaugh swiftly quelled those concerns, expressing confidence in Zvada and dismissing the need for additional kicker practices. Former NFL kicker Lawrence Tynes, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Giants, endorsed Harbaugh's decision on social media. Tynes acknowledged Harbaugh's extensive experience with kickers, noting he coached two borderline Hall of Famers during his tenure in Baltimore.

Tynes' faith in Harbaugh and Zvada underscores the positive outlook for the Giants as the season progresses.
