  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Colts' Matt Gay: Has rough day

    Gay missed his only field goal and extra-point attempt in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Bengals.

    Gay's missed PAT was his first of the season, while he also missed a 38-yard FGA that hit the left upright as part of a disappointing day for the Colts. The 29-year-old will work to get back on track in Week 15 against the Steelers.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Limited opportunities Sunday

    Butker made his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

    Butker tied the game at 17 for the Chiefs with a 27-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for his only FGA. With that make, plus both of his PATs, the Georgia Tech product remains perfect on the season in both categories. Only Randy Bullock has achieved this feat so far this season, but he's only appeared in four games for the Giants. Butker's next opportunities will come in Week 15 against the Patriots.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Perfect in win

    Tucker made all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-31 overtime win over the Rams.

    Tucker was perfect on a day where every kick mattered as the two teams played a tight back-and-forth affair in Week 14. The Texas product connected from 31, 47 and 33 yards out to help Baltimore secure a hard-fought win. Next up for Tucker and the Ravens is a Week 15 matchup with the Jaguars.

  • Texans' Matt Ammendola: Fails on lone attempt

    Ammendola missed his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets.

    Houston's offense was hampered by injuries to key weapons, which resulted in its fewest points scored and yards gained this season. Nico Collins (calf) left early in the first quarter, joining Tank Dell (lower leg) and Dalton Schultz (hamstring). Later, quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was removed from the contest. That all resulted in zero field-goal attempts for Ammendola, who had nine FGA and 10 XPA in his first four weeks as a replacement for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). The failed extra-point kick was his first and fourth missed kick overall in the last four games.

  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Sets franchise record in win

    Hopkins converted his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point kicks in Sunday's 31-27 win over Jacksonville in Week 14.

    Hopkins nailed a 55-yarder with 3:10 left in the game, giving the Browns a two-score lead. The make -- his eighth in eight attempts from beyond 50 yards -- was his 31st of the season, which leads the NFL and set a new franchise record. This was the first game since Week 4 that Hopkins had fewer than two field-goal attempts, which indicates quarterback Joe Flacco is changing an offense that slumbered with PJ Walker and Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center. That suggests fewer three-point attempts going forward. For the season, Hopkins is second among kickers with 113 points scored.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Hot streak continues

    Santos converted all three of his field-goal attempts in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    After making one or fewer field goals in six of his first nine games, Santos has at least three field goals in his last four games. If looking to stream a trending kicker, Santos is as hot as they come right now.

  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Misses lone field-goal try Sunday

    Grupe missed his only field goal attempt but made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-6 win versus the Panthers.

    Grupe went wide left on his lone field-goal attempt Sunday, marking his first miss within 29 yards or less this season. The undrafted rookie is now 24-for-31 on field-goal attempts this season, and he's gone 0-for-1 over the past two weeks. However, he did remain perfect on his point-after-tries, as he's now converted all 27 of his PATs this season. Grupe has also been dealing with a lingering groin issue that kept him questionable leading up Sunday morning. He'll look to overcome this issue once again when the Saints next play versus the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 17.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Not ready to kick yet

    Fairbairn (quadricep) remains on injured reserve for Week 14 after the Texans chose to elevate Matt Ammendola from the practice squad to serve as their kicker for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Fairbairn hasn't had any setbacks in his recovery from right quad strain, but the Texans didn't clear him to resume practicing this week even though he was eligible to do so. Ammendola will thus handle kicking duties for Houston for a fifth consecutive game, though Fairbairn could be ready to reclaim those duties Week 15 versus the Titans.

  • Mason Crosby K | NYG

    Rams' Mason Crosby: Won't kick yet

    Crosby (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Crosby signed with the Rams' practice squad earlier in the week and ultimately was elevated to the active roster Saturday. However, the veteran kicker will remain on the sidelines as Lucas Havrisik will get another opportunity to prove he should remain the team's kicker.

  • Rams' Lucas Havrisik: Maintains kicking duties

    Havrisik is active Sunday against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Havrisik's role as the Rams' kicker was in question when the team added Mason Crosby earlier in the week. However, Crosby will be a healthy scratch in Week 14, and the former will retain his spot as the team's kicker for now.
