Cowboys Will 'Forge Ahead' with Brett Maher at Kicker Despite 4 XP Misses vs. Bucs

Brett Maher's job as the kicker for the Dallas Cowboys is safe despite missing four extra points in Monday's 31-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"We're going to forge ahead," Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said, per Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.

McCarthy added: "We need Brett. He understands that we need to get back on it this week and get him ready to go, obviously with kickoffs in an outdoor stadium out there in Santa Clara. He's disappointed, but we need him, and he'll focus in, and he's been super clutch for us all year.
