Kicker Matt Gay released by the Washington Commanders after 2 more missed field-goal tries

Kicker Matt Gay was released by the Washington Commanders on Monday, a day after he missed two field-goal attempts in a 16-13 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Spain. Gay sent a 56-yard try wide right in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter that would have broken a 13-all tie and, in all likelihood, given Washington (3-8) a much-needed victory. Coach Dan Quinn said on a video call with reporters on Monday that he and general manager Adam Peters met with Gay to deliver the news.
