The sideline can be a lonely place for a player who’s just made a mistake, particularly if that player is a kicker. Specialists in general often hone their craft apart from the larger group, and that isolation could become difficult to bare after poor results.
For Cowboys kicker Brett Maher, there was no poorer result than his historic extra-point misses in Monday’s win against the Buccaneers. Thankfully, CeeDee Lamb was there to pick his teammate up.
Lamb comforted Maher on the Dallas bench during the game, reassuring the veteran kicker that team still had faith in him.
