NEW ORLEANS -- Undrafted kicker Joey Slye was a longshot to make the Carolina Panthers in training camp. Because of a rare missed field goal Sunday his team is a long shot to make the playoffs.
Slye's miss from 28 yards with 1:56 left in a 34-31 loss to the New Orleans Saints ended a streak of 233 consecutive makes by kickers from that distance or shorter going back to a miss by Tennessee's Ryan Succop last season in Week 9.
They were 134-for-134 from that distance this season.
