    Commanders' Joey Slye: No field goals again

    Slye did not attempt a field goal and made two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Rams.

    Syle has now gone two straight games without a field goal after he missed his lone attempt in the Commanders' previous game against the Dolphins. The veteran kicker has just 22 FGAs on the season, converting 17 of those (77.0 percent success rate). His PAT miss Sunday was his third of the season on 29 attempts. Next up for Syle and Washington is a Week 16 matchup with the Jets.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Comes through in clutch

    McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Saturday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.

    McPherson was successful on a 34-yard attempt on the Bengals' opening drive, but the team was then shut out until the fourth quarter. However, after three late touchdowns and three made PATs that helped force overtime, McPherson made the game-winning kick from 29 yards out to end his day. The Florida product is now 23-for-28 on FGAs this season -- with all five misses coming from beyond 50 yards -- and he's connected on all 34 extra-point tries. McPherson and the Bengals will travel to Pittsburgh for a Week 16 divisional matchup.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Colts' Matt Gay: Busy in victory

    Gay converted three of his five field-goal attempts and made all three extra-point tries in Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers.

    Gay missed wide left on a 56-yard attempt on the Colts' opening drive, but he was then able to follow that up with successful attempts from 29 and 31 yards out. Unfortunately for Gay and his fantasy managers, he then missed again from 43 yards, hitting the right upright before closing up his day with a 42-yard make as the game neared its end. Gay and the Colts will travel to Atlanta next for a Week 16 contest.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect in blowout win

    Sanders converted all three of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.

    Sanders wasn't called upon for any difficult kicks in Sunday's win, with his long attempt of the day coming from 37 yards out. He faces a tougher Week 16 matchup against the Cowboys, however, one in which Miami's offense may not be put in such a comfortable position. Since the Dolphins' bye in Week 10, Sanders has attempted at least two field goals in four of five games.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Perfect in loss

    Joseph made his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point-tries in Saturday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.

    Joseph was successful when called upon, making a 39-yard FGA to push the Vikings' lead to 17-3 as the third quarter was nearing its end. The Florida Atlantic product is now 20-for-26 on field-goal attempts this season; however, that still leaves him with a career-worst 77 percent conversion rate, as he remains just 5-for-11 on attempts greater than 40 yards. Joseph and the Vikings will host the Lions in a key divisional matchup in Week 16 as Minnesota looks to stay in the playoff picture and keep their hopes of winning the division alive.

  • Packers' Anders Carlson: Perfect in defeat

    Carlson made two field goals and two extra points in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Carlson did not score more than eight points in any of his first 11 appearances, but he has now put up at least that many in three straight games. He will have his work cut out for him to extend the streak, as Green Bay's next opponent -- Carolina -- ceded only two field-goal attempts and one made field goal over its last four contests.

  • Rams' Lucas Havrisik: Goes 2-for-3 on FGs

    Havrisik connected on two of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-20 victory against the Commanders.

    With Mason Crosby being cut from the Rams' practice squad on Tuesday, Havrisik's hold on the starting kicker position for the Rams seemed to be on firmer ground heading into a Week 15 tilt against Washington. Havrisik struggled again, however, as another missed field goal, this one from 43 yards out, may have eroded all the good will he earned after his perfect performance in Week 14. The Rams' offense has been giving Havrisik plenty of chances to produce in recent weeks, but coach Sean McVay may again look to bring in competition for the embattled kicker after his third missed field goal from 40-49 yards out in his last six games.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Extends perfect streak

    Lutz made his only field-goal attempt while converting both of his extra-point tries in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.

    Lutz nailed his only field-goal attempt from 23 yards out late in the third quarter of Saturday's loss. The veteran kicker's opportunities were limited on a day that the Broncos struggled to get much going. Lutz has been perfect on kicks since Week 11, boasting an impressive 93 percent success rate on both field goals and extra points in 2023. The 29-year-old will look to be more involved while continuing his perfect streak when the Broncos host the Patriots in Week 16.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Returns, makes impact

    Fairbairn converted four of four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Titans in Week 15.

    Fairbairn, who was back on the active roster after missing five games due to a quadricep injury, won the game with a 54-yard field goal as time expired in overtime. He had earlier nailed a 53-yarder and a couple of chip shots to keep Houston within striking distance. The kicking game wavered during the stretch when Matt Ammendola replaced Fairbairn, but it looks like Houston's reliable leg is back and ready. Fairbairn's made 22 of 23 field-goal attempts (five of six from beyond 50) and all 15 extra-point kicks.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Boots clutch field goal

    Hopkins converted two of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears in Week 15.

    Hopkins calmly drilled a 34-yard field goal with 32 seconds left to complete a comeback victory. The kicker made two field goals as part of Cleveland's 13-point fourth quarter, while the Browns' defense contributed key stops. That combination of defense and reliable kicking are the reason for several wins this season. Hopkins has converted 33 of 36 three-point attempts and 22 of 24 PATs.
