Is Brandon Aubrey playing today? Why Cowboys kicker is off to quiet start in Week 12 image

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has become arguably the best kicker in the NFL during his impressive career.

Not only has the two-time Pro Bowler been accurate and reliable, he has a monster leg that is capable of making field goals from just about any distance.

However, Aubrey is not his normal productive self in the Week 12 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Let's dive into the details of his head-scratching start.

Is Brandon Aubrey playing today?

Yes, Aubrey is active and healthy, he just hasn't gotten an opportunity to kick a field goal or extra point yet.

The Cowboys' offense has been putrid through two quarters. Aubrey nearly had a close field goal or extra point attempt during a Cowboys trip to the red zone, but quarterback Dak Prescott threw a terrible interception in the end zone.

The Cowboys are trailing big to the Eagles, so Dallas might not be settling for too many field goals in the second half, which is obviously bad news for Aubrey.
