Gostkowski misses first PAT since '06 rookie year

DENVER -- New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed an extra-point attempt for the first time in nine years Sunday when he shanked the kick following Steven Jackson's 1-yard touchdown run.

Gostkowski had made an NFL-record 523 consecutive PATs, and he had made all 60 of his kicks in the playoffs.

His big miss left the Denver Broncos with a 7-6 lead heading into the second quarter.

NFL owners voted to change the extra-point rule heading into the 2015 season, pushing the kick back from the 2-yard line to the 15.
