  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Another miss from beyond 50

    Tucker went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Raiders.

    Tucker's lone blemish Sunday, a miss from 56 yards, was the latest in a frustrating trend for the veteran. Dating back to last season, Tucker is 1-for-7 on field goals of 50 or more yards. He is still automatic from inside of 50 yards, but there is mounting evidence that Tucker's long-range accuracy is slipping at age 34. The Ravens take on the Cowboys in Week 3.

  • Packers' Brayden Narveson: Reaches double digits again

    Narveson made three of four field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.

    Narveson put 11 points on the board in his Week 1 professional debut, and he reached double digits again in Week 2. He missed a field-goal attempt for the second time in as many games, but he also was true on kicks from both 46 and 42 yards out. Narveson will not be afforded the opportunity to miss kicks for long, but he is 6-of-8 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points through two weeks, which suffices for those who have included him in their fantasy lineups.

    Giants' Graham Gano: Set for multi-week absence

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Gano (hamstring) will miss a "few weeks" due to the hamstring injury he sustained in Sunday's 21-18 loss to Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Gano sounds like he'll miss at least Week 3 against the Browns, and the Giants then have a quick turnaround before taking on the Cowboys in a Thursday night game Sept. 26. In the meantime, New York could turn to kicker Jude McAtamney, who currently resides on the practice squad, though Daboll said the team also will host tryouts at the position.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Perfect in upset victory

    Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Ravens.

    Carlson, who missed a 49-yarder in Week 1, avenged the disappointing four-point performance in the season opener by outdueling legendary Ravens kicker Justin Tucker on Sunday with makes from 53, 51 and 25 yards, before nailing the game winner from 38 yards out with under 30 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter. Carlson not only carries this positive momentum into Week 3, but the Raiders' offense faces a more favorable matchup against the Panthers as well.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Makes two field goals in win

    Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.

    After making six field-goal attempts in last week's regular-season opener to account for all of the Steelers' points, Boswell wasn't needed as much in Week 2. However, he still delivered when called upon, including a 53-yard field goal in the third quarter. The 33-year-old has drilled all four of his attempts from 50-plus yards over the first two weeks of the regular season, and he's been crucial for the team's success, as the offense has struggled to reach the end zone.

    Lions' Jake Bates: Makes three field goals in loss

    Bates went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Bates was perfect again in Week 2, making a pair of field-goal attempts in the first half from 22 yards and 35 yards, respectively. He later added a 32-yard field-goal make and a PAT in the third quarter. Through two games in 2024, Bates has gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Hits game-winning field goal

    Butker made both of his field-goal and extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

    Butker opened the Chiefs' scoring with a 19-yard field goal on the team's first drive of the game. He returned for another FGA on their last drive, with Kansas City trailing by two points when he connected from 51 yards out as time expired and secured a victory for Kansas City. Up next for the 29-year-old is a Week 3 matchup with the Falcons.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Misses key point-after try

    McPherson made all four field-goal attempts but missed one of two extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

    McPherson connected from 22, 33 and 48 yards out before hitting a 53-yard field goal to give the Bengals a 25-23 lead in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Florida product, he was wide right on a PAT following an Andrei Iosivas touchdown catch late in the third quarter, which ultimately ended up being the difference in the score.

  • Jets' Greg Zuerlein: Just one FG through two games

    Zuerlein made his only field-goal attempt from 33 yards and converted all three of his PAT tries in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

    Zuerlein got another relatively light workload, as he has attempted only one field goal through two games. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets' offense will look to heat up in Thursday's home opener against the Patriots and give Zuerlein more kicking opportunities.

  • Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Drills another kick Sunday

    Pineiro made one field goal during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.

    Pineiro remains perfect through Week 2, as the 29-year-old kicker split the uprights on a 38-yard field-goal attempt in the third quarter of Sunday's loss. Carolina's offensive struggles limited Pineiro to just that one try in Week 2, which could be a recurring theme as the Panthers travel to take on the Raiders in Week 3.
