"It was easy to move on and be like, 'Alright, we're in the offseason.'"
Loop described his mindset in simple terms.
"It's time to try to reset and reload."
The kicker also revealed that several NFL kickers reached out after the game, offering encouragement and perspective.
Still, nobody was harder on himself than Loop.
"No one wishes they had that kick back more than me, but you have to move on."
That's exactly what he's done. And as training camp approaches, Loop appears determined to ensure the next chapter of his career is defined by his response rather than a single kick.
