Brett Maher Gets The Yips On Wild-Card Weekend
2 years agoDallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher set an NFL record in a Wild Card Round win over the Tampa Bay Bucs. It wasn't a positive one- he missed his first four extra point kicks before finally making one on his fifth try. He did not get a chance to attempt a field goal. The yips got Maher pretty badly, leading quarterback Dak Prescott to throw his helmet down on the sideline after an extra point miss and yelling at his coach to just go for two instead. It was good to see Maher at least make his fifth kick, as he'd been an excellent kicker all season long. Assuming he does well in practice this week, there's no reason to think the Cowboys will switch kickers for the Divisional Round game.
