Not everyone on the Dallas sideline was enjoying the Cowboys' dominant start to the playoffs Monday night.
After the Cowboys and the host Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded punts in each of the first four drives to start their NFC wild-card game, the Cowboys scored touchdowns on each of their next four possessions.That futility put the Cowboys kicker into the record books, on a page he doesn't want. Maher is the first player to miss four extra points in a single playoff game, according to the NFL. He also is the first player to miss four extra points in a game since at least 1950.
What's more, he missed his final PAT attempt of the regular season, giving him five straight missed extra points. The others to miss two in a postseason game are Roy Gerela of the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Bills on Dec. 22, 1974; Errol Mann of the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XI vs. the Minnesota Vikings on Jan. 9, 1977; and the Bills' Steve Christie against the Raiders on Jan. 15, 1994.
