Robbie Gould never missed a playoff field goal in his life. Not once. Across 16 postseason games with the Bears and 49ers, he went 29-for-29 on field goals and 39-for-39 on extra points before retiring after the 2023 season — the most made field goals without a miss in NFL playoff history. That's the number OhioTate is chasing on Barstool After Dark, and he's doing it in front of a live chat instead of an NFL defense.
Tomorrow on @StoolAfterDark We are trying to break Robbie Gould’s record of 29 straight made postseason field goals The stream will start at 8:20 ET (exactly 24 hours before the NFL kicks off on Wednesday) If we complete the challenge before kickoff? The winning group splits a $25,000 bonus reward from @DraftKings If we don’t? The CHAT gets 25 $1000 bonus rewards from @DraftKings
The stakes are built for a stream, not a stat sheet. Per OhioTate's own post, the challenge kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET — exactly 24 hours before the NFL's Wednesday kickoff — which means he's on the clock to hit 30 straight makes before that game starts. Clear the bar and DraftKings is reportedly kicking in a $25,000 bonus split among the winning group. Miss, and the chat still walks away with 25 separate $1,000 bonus rewards. It's a heads-they-win, tails-they-still-win setup that's basically engineered to keep eyeballs on the stream no matter what happens on the field.
Naturally, someone in the group thinks he can do OhioTate one better. Marty Mush jumped in with the kind of confidence that only makes sense at 2 a.m. on a Barstool stream, claiming he could hit 30 in a row himself.
I'm very excited for this. I am so stupid I think I can do 30 in a row myself
Gould's record wasn't just long, it was pressure-proof — he hit a 45-yard game-winner at Green Bay in the 2022 divisional round and called it the favorite kick of his career, then walked away from football never having felt a playoff miss. Replicating that under stadium lights with a season on the line is one thing; replicating it on a stream with a chat screaming and a DraftKings bonus on the table is an entirely different kind of pressure, which is exactly why this is worth watching.
Whether OhioTate actually gets to 30, or falls short and hands the chat a consolation prize instead, the whole thing plays out live before Wednesday's kickoff. Either way, Barstool After Dark turned an NFL kicking record into appointment viewing for a night — which is about as on-brand as it gets.
