The 29-yard field goal is haunting the New Orleans Saints in 2010. For the second time, the Saints missed a kick from that distance at a critical point in their 30-20 loss Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals.

To be sure, Sunday's miss by John Carney was not as costly as the one that would have been a game-winner in overtime against Atlanta and that cost Carney's predecessor, Garrett Hartley, his job. At least temporarily.

But on Sunday the momentum seemed to swing irrevocably in Arizona's favor when, with the score tied 13-13 and 1:31 remaining in the third quarter, Carney jerked his 29-yard attempt wide left.

Carney said the blame for the miss was his. The snap and hold were good but, like a golfer on the tee, he rushed his swing.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
