NFL kickers set a futility record by missing a combined 11 touchdown conversion kicks, breaking a mark of 10 misses in a single week that had stood for 46 years. A major reason for the lack of success was last year's rule change that pushed back to length of conversion kicks from a distance of 17 yards to almost double that distance. Cincinnati's Mike Nugent and Robbie Gould of the New York Giants each botched two point-after-touchdown (PATs) kicks to help push the total over the top.
