Chargers K Cameron Dicker shares funny story after game-winning FG

Addressing reporters afterwards, Dicker shared a hilarious story about his whirlwind week. He said he was getting ready to go to a Carrie Underwood concert when he got the call that the Chargers were signing him (per ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry).

The Grammy-winning country singer Underwood played the Moody Center in Austin, Tex. (Dicker’s hometown) on Wednesday. But by Sunday, it was Dicker who was front and center at a major arena event of his own.

Dicker did not answer the important question of if he still wound up going to the Underwood concert. But regardless, it ended up being a pretty darn good first week of November for him with the game-winner, one of four kicks (two field goals and two extra points) that he converted Sunday.

The 22-year-old Dicker is still a largely unknown name. He appeared in only one NFL game prior to Sunday (kicking two field goals for the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this season as a one-week fill-in for Jake Elliott before getting waived). But we probably should not be surprised that Dicker came through for the Chargers in Week 9 as he has had the clutch gene from a young age.
