Winning redundantly

FOUND ONLINE: However, with eight seconds left in regulation, the Chiefs were in position to win the game as Ryan Succop lined up to kick a 41-yard game-winning field goal from the San Diego 23.

That sounds redundant to me, especially the win the game with a 41-yard game-winning field goal. Let's try again.

Your mind sees some funny things,
