NFL place-kickers failed on 12 extra point attempts Sunday, breaking a post-merger NFL record and continuing a midseason spike that has highlighted the leagues efforts to make the kick more difficult.The unsuccessful attempts bring the leagues two-week total to 18 and counting. Place-kickers failed on six in Week 10.The previous record for one week of play was 10, set most recently in 1985, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.The NFL moved the kick from the 2-yard line to the 15 at the start of the 2015 season. The move has resulted in pockets of magnified intensity: There were eight misses in two separate weeks last season.Overall, however, the rule change has caused a drop in about 5 percentage points on the NFL conversion rate. It has also prompted teams to go for two points at about double the rate as before the change, and teams also have been incentivized to seek new strategies for blocking them and -- in three cases -- returning them for two-point conversions.Despite the chaotic display on Sunday, the 2016 season has progressed almost exactly as 2015. Entering Sundays games, the conversion rate was 94.8 percent. The rate also was 94.8 after 10 weeks of the 2015 season.Here is the list of the 12 unsuccessful kicks on Sunday:?? Cincinnati Bengals Mike Nugent (twice)??Chicago Bears Connor Barth? Detroit Lions Matt Prater?Jacksonville Jaguars Jason Myers? Minnesota Vikings Kai Forbath? New York Giants Robbie Gould (twice)??Cleveland Browns Cody Parkey??New England Patriots Stephen Gostkowski??Seattle Seahawks Steven Hauschka? Washington Redskins Dustin Hopkins Fake Royals Jerseys .

Cheap Royals Jerseys . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at . LEXINGTON, Ohio -- Will Power knows exactly where he stands heading into the Honda Indy 200 on Sunday at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.The winner of three of the last four races, Power is second in the season standings -- 47 points behind Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud, and 27 ahead of fellow teammate Helio Castroneves.Its step by step each week, just keep chipping away at it, said Power, coming off a victory in Toronto. After a bit of a slow start weve gotten ourselves into the championship fight, but its still a little early to be counting points. We just need to keep doing what we have been and let the points manage themselves.Power has six top-five finishes this year. The Australian won the 2014 series championship and finished second in 2010, 2011 and 2012.Hes racing really well now, Castroneves said. Its confidence. You can see it in the way hes been racing the past few weeks. He has it. Pagenaud had a god run earlier too. Hopefully, Mid-Ohio is a good place for me.Drivers will race 90 laps on the 13-turn, 2.258-mile course with tight turns and minimal opportunities to pass.Track position is the key so you have to qualify well, Power said.None of his 28 career wins have been at Mid-Ohio, where he has finished second once in seven starts.It is not a track that Ive won at before, so this would be a great time to do that and well need to work hard to accomplish that, he said.Power said he cant worry what his Penske teammates are doing during the race but obviously as much as he wants to knock them off, he doesnnt want to knock them out.ddddddddddddI leave the strategy up to the team, he said These guys have been doing a fantastic job. Theyve been making really good calls.

From a racing perspective at least, by far the greatest achievement of my life. It meant a lot to me.Rahal is coming off a 16th place at Toronto and is 11th in points.Another favorite would have to be Scott Dixon, who will be racing for the first time since Thursdays announcement that Target will leave IndyCar at the end of the season after 27 years with Chip Ganassi Racing.The partnership yielded 11 championships and four Indy 500 victories.I have no aggravation. I have nothing (bad) to say, Ganassi said Friday. Theyre the greatest sponsor in sports, greatest sponsor you could ever have.It doesnt say anything about IndyCar racing. It doesnt say anything about the sport. It doesnt say anything about the TV ratings. Its a business decision that Target made. Theres no sub-story here.Dixon, the reigning series champion, is fourth in the standings and looking for a sixth win at Mid-Ohio.Its a track that really feels at home to me, he said. ' ' '
