At times, special teams can make or break not only single games, but whole seasons. For the Cowboys in 2021, Dallas lost five regular season games, and of those five games, three had missed kicks in them.
Most notably, in games versus the Buccaneers and Raiders, there were missed field goal attempts as well as missed extra points resulting in losses within three points. Those games in particular were games that the Cowboys were the better team in all facets of the game aside from special teams.
Zuerlein, who is entering his eleventh season in the NFL, has long been known for having arguably the strongest leg in the league.
