Brett Maher misses four extra points attempts
The Cowboys were having a nearly perfect game of 31-14 victory and were on the right track until the kicker, Brett Maher walked in and changed the whole game within minutes. Brett gave a historically bad performance and become the first player in NFL history to miss four extra points shots in a game since 1932.
Well, everyone wants to break and create records but definitely not in this sense. Brett during this whole game had a major meltdown and it was too much for him to process and react accordingly.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott lost his control and slammed his helmet in frustration and screamed, “Go for f–king two,”. He was frustrated and irritated to the point that he preferred to go for a two-point conversion instead of relying on an already struggling kicker.
Manning cast and Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning were seen sharing their disgust over Brett’s bad performance. The latter briefly went quiet after Brett’s third shanked kick and shouted, “Why are we kicking it?!”. He then jokingly said can we cut a guy at halftime of a playoff game.
The Cowboys coach and team supported Brett Maher
In spite of the kicker’s bad performance, the Dallas Cowboys didn’t go hard on him and marched behind him to support him. The team understood the player’s struggle on the field which was a serious breakdown and was definitely out of his control.
After the win, Dallas Cowboys’ couch, Mike McCarthy spoke to the media and shared the positive news that they’ll have Brett in the divisional round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. He expressed that they’re going to stick with Brett in spite of his obvious struggle on the field.
“We need Brett. He understands that. They need to get back on it this week and get Brett ready to go. But you know, yeah, he’s disappointed. We need him. We need him to focus. Brett’s been super clutch for us all year.”
Dak Prescott, one of the best players of the Dallas Cowboys also came in support of the Kicker and told the media that he was definitely shocked and irritated after witnessing a historic mistake on the field but he believes in Brett and he is very good as a player.
He further told the media that he had a word with Brett saying He is Money Maher’s biggest fan and talked to him individually after the game, just telling him, ‘Hey let that go, we’re going to need it’ I just played like s–t a week ago, so that happens.’
Dak further added that he knows what that guy’s done, with the resiliency he’s shown throughout his career … he has no doubt that Brett will come back next week and be perfect and help Dallas win.
What created an extended buzz were the memes that spread like wildfire and within seconds after Brett lost the fourth shot, the memer’s job became easier and since then thousands of memes had been circulated all over the internet.
