Cowboy’s Nick Folk misses easy 24 yard field goal & is getting evaluated. According to the Dallas news, Dallas Cowboy’s Nick Folk missed another field goal attempt in tonight’s game,with only 2:16 to play. The general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones said he is now going to evaluate it. He stated, “I’ll look at that as early as tonight and tomorrow.”

"Just hit it right off my heel," Folk said, adding that it was difficult to watch the Saints' final drive, "but we ended up getting the win and if it came down to it later in the game I would've been ready for it."

Nick Folk will keep his kicking job with the Dallas Cowboys, at least for now, after a brief competition.

The Cowboys elected not to find another kicker on the free-agent market, instead opening the job to kickoff specialist David Buehler and Folk.

During the open media period Wednesday, Folk made four of five field goals in team drills and then made all four tries in individuals drills. Buehler went 3-for-4 in team and 3-for-4 in individual. Folk's miss came from 41 yards in team exercises.
