Cowboys Sign Tristan Vizcaino After Brett Maher Blows Four Straight PATs During Playoff Game

The Dallas Cowboys added kicker Tristan Vizcaino to their practice squad Wednesday following Brett Maher’s horrible kicking performance Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Maher shockingly missed four straight extra point attempts during the Cowboys’ playoff win against Tampa Bay before connecting on his fifth try.

The Cowboys still intend to use Maher as their starting kicker for their playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, but have added Vizcaino to their practice squad as “insurance” just incase Maher continues to struggle making kicks throughout the week of practice, according to NFL reporter Todd Archer.

I believe Maher’s disappointing performance on Monday was a fluke job. He’s typically an accurate kicker so I don’t expect his kicking woes to continue. Maher made 29 of his 32 field-goal attempts during the regular season and made 50 of his 53 point after attempts, according to Pro Football Reference.

Perhaps he needs a mild sedative or a sports psychologist to calm the nerves.
