Nick Folk misses 1st extra-point try since earning Bucs' kicking job

Related Topics: conversion, Nick Folk

In his first extra point attempt since winning the Buccaneers' kicking job, kicker Nick Folk had a first-quarter kick blocked in Tampa Bay's preseason game against Jacksonville Thursday.

The kick came after a 2-yard touchdown run from running back Doug Martin. It was a low kick, with 6-foot-9 Calais Campbell getting a hand on it.

Heading into Thursday night's game, Folk only missed two extra points his entire career - he's 335 of 337.

Since OTAs, Folk has been entrenched in a kicking battle with second-round draft pick Roberto Aguayo, whose cut was shown on the most recent episode of Hard Knocks.
