Brett Maher cannot catch a break … even the governor of Texas jumped in to pile on the Dallas Cowboys kicker after he missed one more PAT on Sunday evening.

Greg Abbott‘s trolling got here simply minutes after Maher had his second quarter level after try blocked in Dallas’ playoff sport towards the San Francisco 49ers.

“I swear,” Abbott tweeted. “I can kick nearly as good because the Dallas Cowboys kicker.”
After all, Abbott is paralyzed from the waist down … after he sustained important accidents when an oak tree fell on him throughout a morning jog in 1984.

The missed PAT was Maher’s fifth in his final two video games — keep in mind, the 33-year-old whiffed on 4 additional level makes an attempt towards the Tampa Bay Buccaneers within the Cowboys’ Wild Card Spherical win.

To his credit score, Maher did come again to make two area targets within the sport … hitting a 25-yarder within the third quarter and a 43-yarder within the fourth. Abbott did not care to touch upon these.
The kicks, although, in the end weren’t sufficient to get Dallas a win … they dropped the sport, 19-12.

It is now shaping as much as be an extended offseason for the Cowboys — one during which they will must resolve if Maher will likely be their kicker going ahead.
