Brett Maher made it a hat trick of misses — and then he added another.
Midway through the first quarter, Dak Prescott found Dalton Schultz for a 22-yard touchdown and the game’s first points, but Maher subsequently shanked the extra point wide right.
Maher’s nightmare worsened in the second quarter when he missed wide right again after Prescott’s 1-yard touchdown rush. He decided to shake things up later in the quarter, missing his extra point attempt wide left after Prescott completed an 11-yard TD pass to Schultz. Prescott could be seen on the broadcast visibly upset after the third miss, and the Cowboys took an 18-0 lead into halftime instead of a 21-0 advantage. Prescott appeared to scream “Go for f–king two” while slamming his helmet on the Dallas sideline. The missed extra points were perhaps the only blemish on what was an otherwise stellar first half for Dallas.
