Our Geo Quiz Friday takes us to two locations.

The first is the home of the NFL’s New York Jets.

The second location is a city in southwest Norway.

And what do these two places have in common?

Stavanger, Norway is the home of Havard Rugland.

And Rugland went to East Rutherford, New Jersey to try out to be a kicker for the New York Jets.

Rugland caught the attention of the team when he made a video of his ridiculously long field goal kicks.
