Maher’s release means that Sam Ficken has won the kicking battle – at least for now.
Ficken and Maher, who ranked 30th and 32nd in field goal percentage last year, respectively, seemed to be neck-and-neck throughout camp, but it appears that Ficken sealed the deal at yesterday’s MetLife Stadium practice.
