Maher missed 4 extra points last week, and his first attempt this week was blocked (but also going wide left)
The kicking woes continue for the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas advanced to the Divisional Round with a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it was not a perfect performance. Kicker Brett Maher missed four extra points in the win, and that called into question how the Cowboys would handle the kicking position against the San Francisco 49ers.

Former Arkansas and NFL running back Peyton Hillis is home with his family.
Hillis had been hospitalized since Jan. 4 after saving his two children from drowning at a Florida beach. The incident damaged his lung and kidney, and he was in critical condition.
His girlfriend, Angela Cole, posted an update on Instagram on Friday with a photograph of the medical staff.
“God is so good!” she wrote. “The amount of love and gratitude I have for the incredible team that took care of Peyton is indescribable.

Carolina Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho scored a pair of goals at the expense of New York Islanders defenseman Sebastian Aho.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The Metropolitan division-leading Hurricanes were on Long Island for a date with the Islanders. Late in the second period with the score knotted at two, Hurricanes winger Teuvo Teräväinen hurried up the boards, and fed a puck into the slot while Sebastian Aho — the Finnish-born Hurricanes one — crashed the net.

Buffalo had Joe Burrow and Cincinnati right where it wanted them. Then the reigning AFC champs and their confident quarterback flipped the script entirely.

NHL Network analyst EJ Hradek — like so many on the left — sure doesn’t seem to like the idea of being held accountable for their double standards.
The analyst has yet to offer a mea culpa for his comments on Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov’s decision not to wear one of the team’s Pride Night jerseys for warm-ups.
That choice — which Provorov said was made to stay true to himself and his Orthodox Russian religion — led to Hradek saying he could “get on a plane” and suggested he “get involved” in the conflict in Ukraine.

The NFL divisional round continues Sunday with the Dallas Cowboys taking on the San Francisco 49ers.

The Bengals’ win means the conference title game will be in Kansas City, and not Atlanta.
Officially, the NFL is not playing favorites. However, the chance of hosting a conference championship game at a neutral location must have been attractive to the league office.
Alas, it was not meant to be. The Buffalo Bills losing 27-10 to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday eliminated the option of the AFC Championship Game being played in Atlanta.

One of the big stories of this NFL playoffs has been a potential AFC Championship between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs. If those teams met, the game would be played in Atlanta. But Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals had other ideas.
Burrow’s Bengals absolutely smacked the Bills in Buffalo during a snowstorm. The final score was 27-10, but the game wasn’t even that close. Cincinnati scored a touchdown on its first drive. And then again on their second drive.
They never trailed.

The Bengals quarterback had a message for fans who bought neutral site AFC Championship tickets.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals are heading back to their second consecutive AFC title game after a dominant 27–10 win over the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday.
Burrow completed 23-of-36 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns to pace the Bengals’ offense in the victory.
“It was a complete game from everybody,” Burrow told CBS’ Tracy Wolfson after the game. “Offense, defense, special teams from start to finish. That’s what we expected. The job’s not finished.

The defending AFC champions will now face the Chiefs, and Burrow makes it clear that “the job’s not finished.”
The Cincinnati Bengals became the first road team to prevail in the 2023 Divisional Round, toppling the Buffalo Bills in the snow in a surprisingly one-sided 27-10 victory.
While the story of this game is undoubtedly the stellar performance by the Cincinnati defense on Josh Allen and the Bills offense, the tone was set early by quarterback Joe Burrow.
