Cowboys kicker Brett Maher had a night that he'd like to forget in the team's 31-14 win over the Buccaneers.While Dallas romped to victory over Tampa Bay and led 24-0 before the Bucs got on the board, Maher endured one of the worst kicking performances in NFL history. He set a league record by mi sing his first four extra-point attempts of the evening.Maher's first two kicks sailed wide to the right before his third shank went to the left. His fourth attempt very nearly sneaked inside the right side of the goalpost, but it glanced off the top of it and was no good.NFL POWER RANKINGS: Naturally, Maher's struggles drew quite a bit of attention. A frustrated Dak Prescott appeared to demand that the Cowboys go for a 2-point conversion after one of Maher's mi ses, while the kicker's i sues prompted Mike McCarthy to eschew a short field-goal attempt later in the game to go for it on fourth down.All the while, fans on social media incredulously crafted posts about Maher's pile of mi ses. Even Merriam-Webster's dictionary appeared to join in N'Keal Harry Jersey criticizing the suddenly embattled kicker when it posted a definition of "yips" on its official Twitter account.yips | noun | a state of nervous tension affecting an athlete in the performance of a crucial action Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) Merriam-Webster's post doesn't appear to be an attempted dunk on Maher; the dictionary was likely just seeking to define a word that was trending due to Maher's struggles.MORE: Still, that the word was getting that much attention demonstrates just how bad Maher's historic kicking problems were on Monday night.The good news for Maher is that he put a kibosh on his streak of mi sed extra points. It ended in the fourth quarter when he made an extra point to give Dallas a 25-point lead. That guaranteed that the Bucs would be down four scores and ended Maher's streak of mi sed extra points which dated back to Week 18 at five.Still, it appears that the Cowboys are going to stick with Maher against the 49ers despite the flak that he took from mi sing four kicks. Team owner and general manager Jerry Jones confirmed as much in a postgame news conference."No," when asked whether the Cowboys would consider replacing Maher. "He's done enough good ones."
