Kick of Destiny rules
The two former Super Bowl-winning QBs squared off in a field goal challenge Sunday afternoon in New Orleans. The kicks were made around 3:15 p.m. ET. The Super Bowl itself starts at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Both brothers first attempted 25-yard field goals. If one brother made that initial attempt, and the other brother missed, the competition would be over. The one who made the field goal would be declared the winner.
If both Mannings missed their first attempt, the ball would be moved up 5 yards. That was the case on Sunday afternoon in New Orleans as the Mannings both missed in the first round. There was a maximum of three rounds this year.
