Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has issued a personal apology to cheerleader Michelle Siemienowski after accidentally striking her with a ball during their game against the Washington Commanders. The incident occurred in the first half when Aubrey's kick sailed out of bounds, hitting Siemienowski in the back of the head despite a cameraman's attempt to intervene. Siemienowski, though momentarily knocked over, quickly recovered and was seen smiling shortly after.
The following day, Siemienowski reassured fans of her well-being on Instagram, sharing Aubrey's heartfelt apology note. "So sorry about hitting you on (kickoff)! Hope you are doing well! Love watching y’all!" the note read. Siemienowski expressed her gratitude for the gesture, calling the note a "souvenir" from her rookie season's final game.
Despite the unfortunate incident and the Cowboys' loss, Aubrey concluded the season on a high note, setting a new franchise record with 40 field goals, becoming only the fifth kicker in NFL history to achieve this milestone.
