In the Jan. 16 Dallas Cowboys/Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, Cowboys kicker Brett Maher missed four extra points. After he missed two extra points, why in God’s name did they still let him in there instead of replacing him with a backup kicker? Maher went on to miss two more extra points — four missed extra points in one game.

In years gone by, the extra point after a touchdown was a given. You rarely if ever heard of a kicker missing an extra point. In today’s NFL, kickers have made some long field goals, but then miss an extra point. Unbelievable!
