Brett Maher #BrettMaher
The Dallas Cowboys were looking to break a road playoff losing streak that lasted 30 years short of a day on January 16, 2023.
They were clobbering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a wild-card game on Monday and the lead grew in the fourth quarter.
Dak Prescott threw his fourth TD pass, this one to CeeDee Lamb,
The bigger news happened after the score.
Brett Maher came on and kicked a PAT to make it 31-6.
That snapped a string of five straight misses — including a playoff record four in a row in the wild-card game.
Prescott also had a running touchdown.
His four TD passes tied Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman for the team record in a playoff game.
Dallas led 31-6 and was about to end a playoff road losing streak that started after a win on January 17, 1993, in San Francisco.
