Maryland Football: Nick Novak shines in playoff loss

Nick Novak continues to be a model of consistency for the Houston Texans.

In the Texans’ 34-16 loss to the New England Patriots on Saturday, the former Maryland kicker made all three of his field goal attempts.

Novak’s kicks were good from 46, 33, and 27 yards against the Patriots. His 46-yard came early in the fourth quarter and cut the deficit to just eight points at 24-16.

However, the Patriots added 10 more points courtesy of a Dion Lewis rushing touchdown and a 43-yard field goal from Stephen Gostkowski.

Novak made 35-of-41 field goal attempts during the regular season.
