Place-kickers set record in missed extra points

NFL place-kickers have failed on a season-high nine extra points in Sunday's early games, continuing a midseason spike that has highlighted the league's efforts to make kicking more difficult.

The misses bring the league's two-week total to 15 and counting. Place-kickers missed six in Week 10.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the league record (since 1970) for missed extra points in a week is 10, set most recently in 1985.
