<p>Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott went viral when he tweeted a brutal jab during the Dallas Cowboys playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.</p>
<p>Abbott, who is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair, <a href="https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1617318243043086337?s=20&amp;t=ghStC9WkGe9ERJNzNpOq_g">took to Twitter</a> after Cowboys kicker Brett Maher failed to convert an extra point when it was blocked by 49ers defensive lineman Samson Ebukam, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/23/texas-governor-greg-abbott-trolls-brett-maher-cowboys-49ers-nfl-playoffs/">TMZ</a> reported. San Francisco ended up winning the game and advancing to the NFC Championship.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Brett Maher is 1/6 on PATs this post season after missing here</p>
<p>If this kick wasn’t blocked, it still wouldn’t have been good.   <a href="https://t.co/Dd9Wl7zIST">https://t.co/Dd9Wl7zIST</a></p>

<p>And Abbott wasn&#8217;t the only person who criticized the Cowboys&#8217; kicker. Several accounts flooded the social media platform with videos and memes mocking Maher.</p>

<p>Maher has struggled in the playoffs this season, missing five extra point attempts in the past two games, including four on January 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</p>
<p>He has the second most missed extra point attempts in NFL playoff history.</p>
<p>However, the Cowboys kicker did manage to nail two field goals on Sunday, a 25-yarder in the third quarter and a 43-yarder in the fourth. He has made 12 consecutive field goal attempts.</p>
