Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Misses long field-goal attempt
Aubrey converted two of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Thursday night's 20-15 win over the Giants.
The kickers did most of the scoring damage in the NFC East affair, as Greg Joseph recorded all 15 points on five field-goal kicks for the G-Men. Aubrey's miss from 51 yards out with 31 seconds left in the game was his first miss of the season and first career miss from 50-plus yards out. He'd previously made 16 straight from that range.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Patriots' Joey Slye: Converts only FG attempt Week 3
Slye made his only field-goal try and didn't attempt any extra points in last Thursday's Week 3 loss to the Jets.
Slye accounted for New England's only points in the defeat with a 44-yard field goal in the second quarter. The veteran kicker has gone 6-for-7 in field-goal tries through three weeks, with his only miss being a 48-yard attempt that was blocked. Though the Patriots are averaging only 13.0 points this season, Slye has managed to maintain moderate productivity since the team has struggled to score TDs when managing to get into the red zone.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes lone FG attempt Week 3
Dicker made his only field-goal try and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh.
Dicker didn't get many opportunities in the contest, but he converted when called upon, making a 28-yard field goal in the second quarter. The 24-year-old has gone 6-for-6 in field-goal tries and 4-for-5 in extra-point attempts through three weeks. He's had one field-goal try of beyond 50 yards -- a 53-yarder against the Raiders in Week 1 that he successfully converted.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Giants' Greg Joseph: Will kick vs. Dallas
Head coach Brian Daboll said that Joseph will serve as the Giants' kicker in Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Joseph made all three of his extra-point tries in his team debut during Sunday's win over the Browns, but he missed his only field-goal attempt from 48 yards out. The veteran will continue filling in for Graham Gano (hamstring) versus Dallas, but if Joseph struggles again, the Giants could look into replacing him with another kicker.

Justin Tucker K | BAL
Ravens' Justin Tucker: Another miss from distance
Tucker went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Cowboys.
Tucker's miss came early in the fourth quarter on a 46-yard try, bringing him to 5-for-8 on FGAs this season. All three of his misses have been of considerable distance with 56 and 53-yard misses the prior two weeks. Tucker and the Ravens will host the Bills on Sunday.

Tyler Bass K | BUF
Bills' Tyler Bass: Near perfect in lopsided win
Bass converted both of his field-goal attempts and five of six extra-point tries during Buffalo's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
Bass logged his first PAT miss of the year on Monday night, after having missed one of two field-goal tries Week 2. Josh Allen has lead Buffalo's offense to 30-plus points in all three of its regular-season games so far, and, as a result, Bass currently leads the league with 13 converted PATs despite his one miss Monday. The Bills now face a tougher test Week 4 against Baltimore.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Misses one in loss
McPherson made three extra-point tries but missed one of three field-goal attempts in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.
McPherson missed his first FGA of the night when he sent a 48-yard try wide left in the second quarter. However, he was good from 28 and 31 yards out later in the game. The Florida product is now 7-for-8 on field-goal attempts through three games and 5-for-6 on PATs. Next up is a Week 4 matchup against the Panthers.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Perfect in loss to Bills
Little converted his only field-goal attempt and his lone extra-point try in Jacksonville's 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday.
Little was one of the few bright spots on offense for the Jaguars in Week 3, but his opportunities dried up with Buffalo getting out to a 34-3 lead by halftime. He'll look to remain accurate as Jacksonville prepares for a pivotal divisional matchup against the Texans in Week 4.

Austin Seibert K | WAS
Commanders' Austin Seibert: Stays perfect
Seibert made all five extra-point attempts and a lone field-goal try in Monday's 38-33 win over the Bengals.
Seibert's field goal was good from 42 yards out early in the fourth quarter, giving Washington a 31-20 lead. The Oklahoma product took over the kicking job in Week 2 and has since gone 8-for-8 on FGAs and 5-for-5 on PATs. He'll work to stay perfect in Week 4 against the Cardinals.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: First miss of season
Sanders converted one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Sanders accounted for all of Miami's points in the team's convincing Week 3 loss to Seattle, a game in which neither of Skylar Thompson (ribs) or Tim Boyle were able to adequately pilot the offense while under center. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) still on IR for the foreseeable future, Sanders may continue to have his opportunities stymied by below-average offensive play. The Dolphins' next chance to get back on track will come versus Tennessee on Monday night.
