The Dallas Cowboys are sticking with Brett Maher in this weekend's playoff matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Maher missed four extra points in the Cowboys' wild-card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- the first player to do so in an NFL game since 1932.

"I believe in the hot hand, and I believe in the yips, absolutely," special teams coordinator John Fassel said. "And you know, you wonder sometimes how you get into the yips, and you wonder sometimes how you get back into the hot hand. I think it's keep stepping up to the line and shooting that thing. We missed a couple of free throws [Monday] ... He had a hot hand. Let's face it, he only missed [six] kicks all season. The yips happen, so I expect a hot hand coming up."

Mike McCarthy added, "I think the biggest thing is just to make sure you got a good plan with Brett moving forward. Just make sure he's ready."

In the regular season, Maher made 29 of 32 field goal attempts, missing from 59 yards, twice, and 46 yards. He made 50 of 53 PATs.
