The title speaks for itself. Matt Bryant is human, folks. He is going to miss from time to time. Bryant missed back-to-back field goal attempts for the first time in 100 years, but it didn’t cost them the game.

You have to remember that Bryant is in his 40’s and that may start show in the coming weeks. Bryant is still one of the best kickers in the NFL and won’t miss too many more in 2015. With the longer extra point attempts implemented in 2015, kickers are subject to miss more. It’s just how it is.

It is what it is.
