On Monday Night Football, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys out-battled Tom Brady and the Bucs to reach the Divisional round in the playoffs. Although the Cowboys played an incredible game, their kicker Brett Maher made one unwanted record, which got the NFL world talking. In that game, he missed the opportunity to score four extra points. Thus, he became the first kicker to miss four PATs in a single game since 1932.

Players and coaches looked visibly upset on the field after Maher missed his kicks. Many fans on social media criticized him as well; however, his teammate and the Cowboys QB Prescott backed the 33-year-old kicker to come good in the next game.

During the post-game press conference, Prescott said, “I mean, I’m Money Maher’s biggest fan… I talked to him individually, just told him after the game, ‘hey let that go, we are going to need it, I just played like s**t a week ago.’“

Prescott further praised Maher for his amazing career in the NFL, as he said, “So I mean, that happens; knowing what that guy has done and the resiliency he has shown throughout his career. Personally, no doubt he will come back next week and be perfect and help us win.“
