Cowboys kicker Brett Maher, who missed four extra point attempts during last Monday’s win against the Buccaneers, was unsuccessful on his first extra point attempt against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Maher’s kick was not a straight-up miss, but was blocked by Niners lineman Samson Ebukam. Perhaps the fact that this miss wasn’t entirely his fault will help the yips from growing stronger, but a quick glance at the replay shows that Maher’s attempt was kind of shanked into the lineman’s hands.
Regardless, the touchdown that preceded the extra point put the Cowboys up 6-3 on the Niners in the second quarter.
