Maher's Monday misses were moot, anyway, as the Cowboys beat the Bucs 31-14. But Dallas' planned roster move assures that all eyes will be on Maher when the game kicks off on Sunday.

Does the same go for kickers?

Before Monday, Maher had missed just six extra points — the equivalent of a 33-yard field goal — in four NFL seasons, making 95.5% of said kicks in his career. The 33-year-old also missed an extra point in the Cowboys' regular-season finale on Jan. 8, but he avoided going 0-for-6 in his last two games with a successful extra point late on Monday against the Bucs.

Purdy's 4 TDs lead 49ers past Seahawks 41-23 in playoffs Brock Purdy picked up where he left off in the regular season for the 49ers and showed few signs of playoff jitters Gould, by contrast, has made 96.4% of his extra points in the regular season and playoffs since joining the 49ers in 2017. He hasn't missed a postseason extra point in his NFL career.
