LANDOVER, Md. -- Mike Nugent could not have asked for a more difficult welcome to the Dallas Cowboys than Sunday at FedEx Field.
The game was mostly played in a driving rainstorm. The wind whips at different times in that stadium even on a good day. He was taking over for the most accurate kicker in NFL history in Dan Bailey. His first attempt was a 49-yarder in the second quarter from the left hashmark.
He missed the kick to the left.
“It was actually my better hit of the day,” Nugent said.
