A tough first half for Cowboys kicker Brett Maher ignited a strong reaction from Dak Prescott just before halftime against the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
After the teams exchanged punts over the first four series, Prescott and the Cowboys rattled off three consecutive touchdown drives to build a commanding lead over Tom Brady and the Bucs. Instead of going up 21–0, however, Dallas would take a sizable yet slightly concerning 18–0 lead into the break after kicker Brett Maher missed three straight extra-point attempts.
Shortly after Maher, who made 50 of his 54 PATs during the regular season, whiffed wide left on his third attempt, ESPN cameras caught a visibly irritated Prescott walking to the Cowboys bench.
