Today, the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Seattle Seahawks with a game-winning field goal in overtime that barely made it through the uprights.
According to astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson the Bengals can thank the Earth’s rotation for that game-winning field going in.
Today's @Bengals winning OT field goal was likely enabled by a 1/3-in deflection to the right, caused by Earth’s Rotation.

In the N. Hemisphere, Earth’s Coriolis force deflects airborne north-south projectiles to the right. About 1/2-in per 50 yds.

The @Bengals stadium isn’t oriented exactly North-South. And the field goal was 42-yds. Yielding a 1/3-in deflection, not 1/2

I’m not sure if I understood any of that but I’ll take NDT’s word for it.
