Agree. That gets a little lost in the discussions about Maher. Even in today's NFL hitting 51 and 53 yarders is far from a gimme. That said, statistically he should have hit 1-of-2. And if it were the 2nd one (to go up 20-10) I think that probably would have sealed the win.
For the Rams, they came into this season needing to replace all 3 specialist roles and do it with young players. They have gone 2-for-3 so far with Evans and Ward. And Evans will probably be All-Rookie. I'm willing to cut them some slack that the kicker position remains TBD.
