TAMPA, Fla. — Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher missed four straight extra points in Monday night’s NFC wild-card game against Tampa Bay, becoming the first player in NFL history to miss three or more in a playoff game.
Maher’s misses were the only thing going wrong for the Cowboys, who led the Buccaneers 24-0.
Maher made 50 of 53 extra points in the regular season, missing his last one in Week 18 - meaning he has missed five in a row.
He was wide right on his first two kicks Monday night, pulled his third try wide left and then hit the top of the right upright on his fourth attempt.
