A day of extra work and plenty of time sitting home watching highlights were enough for placekicker Sebastian Janikowski to regain his sense of humour after missing a potential game-winning field goal for Oakland against Arizona. As reporters walked up to him Wednesday to ask about what went wrong on his rough day, Janikowski immediately pointed his finger at the player sitting next to him in the locker room, jokingly blaming Shane Lechler for a bad hold. After spending Monday ironing out the kinks on the practice field and Tuesday moping around at home watching highlights, Janikowski said he is now ready to put to rest last Sunday's three missed field goals, including a 32-yarder on the final play of the Raiders' 24-23 loss to the Cardinals. "I was disappointed, I mean shocked," he said. "It happens. I can't change anything. Going into warmups, I was 20-for-20, with 63-yarders both way. And, you go in the game you feel so good about it, 'Ah, I can make any kick.' And this thing happens. So, you've just got to move on. Next page." Janikowski doesn't have much experience moving on from a game quite like this, having missed three field goals for just the fourth time in his 11 years in the NFL and first since the 2007 opener. He said this game was most like one late in the 2001 season when he also missed three kicks, including a 41-yarder in the closing seconds of a 13-10 loss at Tennessee. Source: The Canadian Press
