Kicker Brett Maher is no longer in the dog house. At least not this week.
After missing an extra point earlier in the game, allowing the Falcons to tie the game 19-19 in the final minutes. Maher made a 42-yard field goal as time expired, allowing the Cowboys to win their second straight game for the first time all season and even their record at 5-5 heading into Thursday’s first-place NFC East showdown against the Washington Redskins (6-4).
It was his second game-winning field goal of the season. He also beat the Lions with a 38-yard game-winning kick.
