Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and head coach Mike McCarthy addressed the status of embattled kicker Brett Maher following an ugly outing in Monday’s wild-card win.
Maher, a five-year pro, became the first kicker in league history to miss that many attempts, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Fortunately for Maher, he ended the drought in the fourth quarter, making his fifth attempt as the Cowboys closed out the win, 31-14.
“We need Brett. He understands that. We need to get back on it this week and get him ready to go,” McCarthy said,. “Obviously we’re kicking at an outdoor stadium out there in Santa Clara. But you know, yeah, he’s disappointed. We need him. We need him to focus in. He’s been super clutch for us all year.”
