UPDATE: Maher missed his fourth extra point before making his first PAT on his fifth attempt.
The original story follows.
The Dallas Cowboys have an 18-0 halftime lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their NFC Wild Card tilt.
But had Brett Maher not missed all three of his extra-point attempts -- something that ESPN Stats & Info says has never happened in a playoff game before, let alone one half -- the Cowboys would be up 21-0.
Over on ESPN 2, Peyton Manning was irate after Maher missed the third extra-point attempt:
Manning had the pleasure of winning the first of his two Super Bowl titles with one of the greatest kickers in NFL history in Adam Vinatieri at his disposal. So too did current Bucs quarterback Tom Brady for his first three titles with the New England Patriots.
Dak Prescott does not, and seemingly is no longer interested in watching extra-point attempts from a struggling Maher:
We'll see if the game gets close enough for Maher's leg to ultimately impact the outcome.
