"ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders released kicker Matt Gay on Monday, one day after he missed two kicks, including what would have been a game-winner, in Sunday's 16-13 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Madrid. Gay joined the Commanders in April on a one-year deal with $4.25 million guaranteed -- the most a kicker has received for a one-year contract."
"Gay missed a 56-yard field goal with 15 seconds remaining in regulation that would have given Washington a 16-13 lead. Earlier in the game Gay had missed a 51-yarder. After the game Gay said he felt "100% of the blame" for the loss fell on him. In 11 games, Gay made 13-of-19 field goals. But he was 4-of-9 from beyond 50 yards."
