Lawrence James Henry Tynes (born 3 May 1978) is a Scottish-born former gridiron football placekicker.
After he played soccer for Milton High School, a coach suggested he try out for the football team as a kicker.
He played college football at Troy and was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2001.
He spent two seasons on the practice squad in Kansas City, then played in NFL Europe and in the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Tynes spent a short period of time with the Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe during 2002.
After his departure from the Claymores, Tynes signed for the Renegades organization in the Canadian Football League.
Tynes re-signed for the Chiefs and was ready to be the next full-time kicker for the team.
During the 2004 season, he converted 17 field goals out of 23 opportunities.
In 2005, he made 27 field goals out of 33 opportunities.
In 2006, he made 24 field goals out of 31 opportunities.
Tynes's first year with the Giants saw him miss 4 field goals of less than 40 yards, completing 23 out of 27 attempts overall.
During the NFC Championship game in Green Bay against the Packers, played in sub-zero fahrenheit temperatures, Tynes hit his first two field goal attempts, then missed two field goal attempts in the fourth quarter, the latter after a bad snap.
In overtime he made the game-winning 47 yard field goal to win the game for the Giants, 23–20, as the team moved on to play in the Super Bowl with the win.
Tynes earned his first career championship ring as the Giants defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, ruining what would have been an unprecedented 19–0 season for the Patriots.
He came back to Kansas City and played for the Chiefs for three seasons, and was then traded to the Giants in 2007.
In his first season with the Giants, he kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime against the Green Bay Packers in the 2007–08 NFC Championship Game, which qualified the Giants for Super Bowl XLII.
He experienced his best success with the Giants, winning Super Bowl championships in 2007 and 2011, defeating the New England Patriots in both games.
Tynes is the only player in NFL history to have two overtime game-winning field goals in the playoffs.
Tynes kicked the longest post-season field goal in Lambeau Field post-season history (47 yards) in the 2007 NFC Championship Game.
Tynes was limited to only two games during the 2008 season due to a torn meniscus that was bothering him since training camp.
He still made one field goal before undergoing season-ending knee surgery.
During his absence, John Carney replaced him as the kicker.
During the 2009 season, Tynes converted 27 field goals out of 32 opportunities.
Playing 15 games of the 2010 regular season, Tynes made 19 field goals out of 23 opportunities.
Four years later, he kicked another overtime field goal against the San Francisco 49ers in the 2011–12 NFC Championship Game, which qualified the Giants for Super Bowl XLVI.

He contracted MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in August 2013, after his toe failed to heal from surgery to remove an ingrown toenail.
After spending the entire season on injured reserve, Tynes was released on 11 March 2014, and the infection effectively ended his NFL career.
Tynes sued the Buccaneers in 2015 for $20 million, claiming that unsanitary conditions led to his MRSA infection.
Other teammates, including Carl Nicks and Johnthan Banks, also contracted MRSA around the same time while with the Buccaneers, and while Nicks also found his career at an end, Banks went on to play several more seasons in the NFL.
Tynes and the Buccaneers agreed to a confidential settlement in 2017.
