Just what the heck's wrong with NFL kickers?

Sunday was another bad day to be an NFL kicker.

NFL place-kickers combined to miss 12 extra points Sunday, including a pair of misses by both New York Giants kicker Robbie Gould and Cincinnati's Mike Nugent.

The Giants were able to overcome the misses in a 22-16 win over Gould's former team, the Chicago Bears. The Bengals weren't so fortunate as Nugent's misses came into play late in a 16-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Instead of needing a potential game-winning field goal from Nugent, the Bengals were forced to attempt a Hail Mary pass from the Bills 27-yard line as time expired.
