Not really for a 35 yard FG. Every kicker in that high of a league can easily kick the ball 35 yards with enough trajectory to easily clear an outstretched hand at the line of scrimmage.
Plain and simple, the kicker missed his kick, and very easily could have missed it the same way for a shorter kick. He wasn't forced to kick with a low trajectory.
