Indeed.

Later career and retirement (from Wiki)

Norwood lasted one more season with the Bills. He kicked three field goals in the Bills' 37-14 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional playoffs, and made a crucial field goal in the Bills 10-7 victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC title game. He also kicked one field goal in Buffalo's 37-24 loss to the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XXVI.

However, his kicking became erratic, and before the 1992 season he was cut, again, and replaced by the younger Steve Christie, who surpassed Norwood as the team's all-time leading scorer in 1998. The stigma of having been the kicker who lost a Super Bowl, however undeserved it was, kept other teams from showing any interest, and he left football for good.

Norwood finished his seven NFL seasons with 133 of 184 field goals (72%) and 271 of 278 extra point attempts, giving him a career total of 670 points.

He returned to Northern Virginia, where he still lives today, in South Riding, and became a realtor. He is married, and has three children, Carly, Connor, and Cory. Norwood coaches Carly's soccer team.

I do remember that Norwood for the most part was a solid placekicker, but that miss probably ended his career.

Remember when Nebraska's kicker in 1994 missed a field goal that would've won the national championship against Charlie Ward's Florida State Seminoles (the miss preserved FSU's 18-16 win)? I remember the kicker Byron Bennett got death threats after the game.
