Brett Maher went 50-of-53 on PATs during the regular season.

However, in his first playoff game of the year he missed his first four PAT attempts, beating his total of three misses during the regular season.

The four misses are a NFL playoff record.

Maher earned a measure of redemption by making his fifth attempt to go 1-for-5 on the day.

Social media was letting off jokes at Maher’s expense.
