Dalton didn't play well at all but he still has to deal with pressure, reading coverages and all that. The guys on defense have to play a whole lot better but they are out there for a full game with all of them having many different assignments.
A kicker has literally one job. Kick the ball through the uprights. He didn't get it done today in a game that ended in a tie. Missed two kicks with one of them being an extra point. His mistakes are much more glaring and, imo, impactful due to the singularity of his job. A job he has not done well at all so far this season, and even more specifically, today.
Redskins kicker blew it. Nuge just had a bad day.
