Maher Extends Cowboys & NFL Record for 60+ FG

[Cowboys5217]

That was his 4th from 60 or more. He is the only Cowboys kicker with a 60 yarder, let alone 4 of them. NFL record for most as well.

I was pretty indifferent about him getting the job in Dallas, because I didn't think we had much choice, but I did not expect him to be this good. I'm impressed.

Still pretty PO'd that the Refs came in so late wit the reply negating the 1st kick. That stuff can't happen.

I wonder who he hit up as kicking guru in the off-season the ball is coming off his foot different than his first go around. I think his mechanics and setup were tweaked a little.

They need to extend him RIGHT NOW

Gives him a chance to put it straight up the middle, and that second one could've been from 70.

Brett Maher is proof that the NFL gives up to quick on kickers ......... man worked on his craft and is clutch as hell now.

Mee too. The kicker position was the biggest liability on this roster during the off-season.

But man did he prove his doubters (including me) wrong. Cudos to you Mr. M and thank you very much. Now keep on rockin deep into January please.

I read online that there has only been 20 over 60 in history
16 in the last decade
I guess now it’s 21 but 4 of those by one kicker

1st cowboys kicker to hit 3 from 50+ in a game.

They need to extend him RIGHT NOW

Until he misses his next 60 yarder

Maher was a joke when we drafted him. Never would I ever have imagined him being this reliable

 

[DCowboyz]

The NFL tried to stop that. It’s crazy it only happens to us. I would bet anything if he missed, they would have never reviewed anything!

He’s fixed what was his problem
He missed short FG
I guess kickers are like other players in that sometimes it takes some time to really develop their game

Most kickers need time, there is a reason why journeyman float around there is a flaw in their game but eventually they fix it or they will be just weekly thoughts when a team loses a kicker.

He has to be the biggest surprise on the team. I can remember when he can't even hit the side of a barn. Now he's nailing these 60 yarders like their extra points.

Maurer not only has been very consistent (that includes X-tra points too) but he's a big kick weapon that can nail the 50-60 yrd FG kicks.
