context_page_description: Shaun Christopher Suisham is a Canadian born former American football placekicker in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins and Pittsburgh Steelers. He was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2005. He played college football at Bowling Green.
context_section_description: On November 28, 2006, he was signed to the Washington Redskins' practice squad. On December 2, he was promoted to the active roster. Despite missing his first field goal attempt (from 50 yards) and struggling on kickoffs against the Atlanta Falcons, the team decided to keep him instead of placekicker Nick Novak. He would go on to make 8 consecutive field goals to finish out the year. He kicked his first game-winning field goal from 39 yards in an overtime victory over the Miami Dolphins in the Redskins' season-opener on September 9, 2007.
  On March 16, 2009, he was re-signed by the Redskins. On December 6, he missed a 23-yard field goal that likely would have sealed an upset win against the undefeated New Orleans Saints. The team went on to lose the game in overtime, 33-30. On December 8, he was released and replaced him with former UFL kicker Graham Gano.
