Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher must tame his inner nerves in Sunday's divisional round of the playoffs against the San Francisco 49ers, after a record four missed extra point attempts in his last outing shook fans to their core.
He sent his first two disastrous failed attempts wide to the right and a third to the left before halftime in Monday's 31-14 triumph over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, only to miss another PAT in the third quarter.
"Oftentimes we find that when you have a bad play or a bad performance, in order to try and perform better the next time you start trying to control everything you're doing and when you're performing a skill that you practiced to perfection, ironically, that attention to detail can actually mess you up."
"The goal is to get back into whatever routine he's had in the past that has made him so successful," said Beilock.
