A Monday is a lot more fun after your team gets a big win, and Dallas Cowboys fans are having one of the best Mondays of the year.

The Cowboys bested the New York Giants in a 40-37 overtime thriller in their home season opener. Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey would be the one to lead his team to their first victory.

Not only did Aubrey nail the 46-yard game-winner, but the walking weapon drilled a 64-yard field goal to send the game to overtime.

It's a great day to be a kicker, and if it's a great day to be a kicker, then you know the most famous leg in the sports media landscape is going to be talking about the legwork of Aubrey.

Yes, Pat McAfee had Aubrey on his "progrum" on Monday. During the conversation, Aubrey was asked if he was trying a new kick when he nailed the long-distance kick to send the game to overtime.

Brandon Aubrey is UNBELIEVABLE

"I'm more of a feel kicker and I don't watch a whole lot of film of myself..

Not any single kick is exactly the same for me especially early in the season" ~ @Brandon_Aubrey #PMSLive https://t.co/nIJ6WNASZf pic.twitter.com/noRBqHhfVM

"No, that's a little power fade. I was just trying to add a little bit more to it, and kind of came off my foot a little funky. It had that little slide, and I got nervous for a second. But then it corrected itself and got back on its path," Aubrey said.

Whatever he did, Cowboys fans could have waited the rest of the season without hearing that Aubrey was nervous during the kick. Oh well. A win is a win.
