How is it still considered "active"? He missed. Regardless of why or when, the streak ended. You can say that he still maintains a current streak for regular season PATs, but the streak itself is done. Do not change it back unless you are differentiating between the two.
I can understand not including the postseason stats in the table for regular-season stats (since the NFL essentially considers the postseason a "second season"), but I think that people would be interested in his postseason performance, so I created a second table for that purpose.

I list all three records separately because the NFL considers them three separate records (see the link referenced in the main article). Samer ( talk) 06:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Saying "this is important" doesn't actually make it important. You haven't actually given a reason why this is important enough to mention in the first sentence. Most readers understand that names often aren't pronounced "the right way", and that American names in particular often are "corrupted" forms of European names. Also, most people don't know what proper Polish pronunciation should be in the first place, so simply saying "it's wrong" is unhelpful.
All of this said, I'm not opposed to including such information in the article. It simply does not have enough importance, relative to Gostkowski himself, to justify it being mentioned in the introduction. If you want to include a well-sourced footnote to that effect (in other words, one with a reliable source that says how it should be pronounced), I will not object at all.

This is directed at the editor from 83.31.*: You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.
