Brett Maher makes history in victory over Vikings
On August 9, 2022, the Dallas Cowboys signed Brett Maher after releasing Jonathan Garibay to compete for the kicking position.
The signing left us, including me, scratching our heads, thinking here we go again!
When the Cowboys decided to gamble and bring Maher back and give him a chance to win the kicking job, I was left thinking nothing but negative thoughts.
Wondering how many misses it would take for the Cowboys to cut him. Boy, was I wrong?
Yesterday Maher continued his stellar season by setting an NFL record.
Maher is four-of-four from 60-plus yards in his career, the most 60-yarders in NFL history. No other kicker has more than two 60-yard field goals. (I had to look this up four or five times to confirm).
Below is a video of all four kicks he has put through the uprights from 60 yards or more, and it doesn’t even include the bazaar end to the half Sunday.
Maher made his first attempt to end the half against the Vikings. After he made it, the refs ruled the last play was under review. Very late.
The catch by CeeDee Lamb stood as called on the field, so Maher casually hit another 60-yard field goal.
