Cowboys Lose After Missed Last-Minute PAT: After being down by 18 points, the Dallas Cowboys rallied to take a last-minute lead over the Arizona Cardinals on Christmas night, but kicker David Buehler missed an extra point and the Cardinals won 27-26 on a 48-yard Jay Feely field goal with 10 seconds left.
I try not to be a hater, but there always seem to be a few in football I just enjoy watching in misery. This weekend I got to see two of my favorite things; Jerry Jones getting whiter and Tom Coughlin getting redder. If Steve Spurrier had just thrown his visor on the ground my day would be complete.

How often do NFL kickers just flat miss an extra point? Not a block, not a bad hold, not some penalty pushing the ball back to essentially a field goal attempt; just a flat out miss. That said, Feely's two kicks were great. First, the long field goal to take the lead; but then that kickoff after the 15-year penalty, bouncing along the sideline and then dying right before the goal line? Unbelievable.
