Strike three? Cowboys placekicker Brett Maher misses a trio of PATs in the first half in a wild card matchup with the Bucs when Peyton Manning asks, “Can you cut a guy at halftime of a playoff game?”
Dallas Cowboys placekicker Brett Maher picked the wrong time for a case of yips Monday night in Tampa.
Facing the Buccaneers in the final wild-card round playoff game, the 33-year-old Nebraska product missed three extra points in the first half. Before Monday, no kicker had missed three PATs in a single playoff game, let alone in a single half of the game.
The good news for Dallas fans is that the Cowboys still led the game, 18-0 before halftime, but that was no consolation for the struggling kicker who was visibly upset at Raymond James Stadium on Monday.
The sequence of missed kicks led ESPN commentator Peyton Manning to ask, “Can you cut a guy at halftime of a playoff game?”
