METAIRIE, La. ― When Garrett Hartley laid his foot into the ball at the 50-yard line, he knew the kick had a chance. When it sailed cleanly over the crossbar, he knew it was a special kick. But it was when special teams coach Greg McMahon ran onto the field like the kick had just won the Super Bowl that you knew the kick was good. And then Hartley’s coach jokingly scolded him.
