Man, I thought it seemed like opposing kickers never missed against us:

How many thought Olindo Mare would make that 52-yard field goal with just more than 2 minutes remaining in Sunday's game in Miami?
...
Mare, in his 10th year with Miami, became the first player to fail on a field-goal attempt against the Packers since then-rookie Robbie Gould of the Chicago Bears was short on a 43-yard try in early December. Mare's miss ended a record 20 in a row by Green Bay's opposition.
When your team has been subjected to that kind of accuracy, it's understandable if some thought Mare couldn't possibly misfire.
The longest previous streak against the Packers was 17, set over a 14-game span between 1994 and 1995.
