Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher wasn't even with the team when training camp began at the end of July, but the organization sure is glad they got him soon after that and have him now.
With the Cowboys in control of the football in the final seconds of the first half of their matchup against the Vikings, Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott rolled out to his right and fired a deep shot to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb who made a spectacular grab near the sideline, to give the Cowboys a chance to kick a long field-goal just before halftime.
Maher trotted out onto the field and knocked down a 60-yard field goal to give the Cowboys a 23-3 lead at the break. But then he didn't...
As everyone was getting ready to run off the field... The NFL's replay center buzzed the officials to review whether or not Lamb corralled the pass. A short time later, officials ruled that Lamb's catch stood. But what about Maher's 60-yard field goal? It didn't count.
So, here came Maher again.... and he drilled it.
With the made 60-yard bomb, Maher is now four-of-four from 60-plus yards in his career. His four makes are the most in NFL history. No other kicker has more than two conversions from 60-plus.
