Stephen Gostkowski didn't pick the best time to end his streak of consecutive extra-point conversions.

The New England Patriots kicker pushed his first attempt of Sunday's AFC title game wide to the right, missing an point-after try for the first time since his rookie season.

A lengthy streak of extra-point conversions wasn't exactly a rare feat in years past, but Gostkowski was one of just six NFL kickers to make all his regular-season attempts after a rule change to lengthen the kick took effect in 2015.
