  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Connects on five kicks vs. NOLA

    McLaughlin made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 23-3 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    The Buccaneers' offense failed to generate points until the first possession of the second half. All three of McLaughlin's field goals came in the second half and from 50-plus yards. He is now a perfect 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards and is 17-for-21 on all field-goal tries and 16-for-17 on PATs through eight regular-season games.

  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Healthy scratch with McManus back

    Havrisik (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Pittsburgh, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Green Bay's regular placekicker Brandon McManus is back in action after missing the last two games due to a right quadriceps injury. Havrisik thus will be in street clothes after not missing a kick (4-for-4 on FGAs, 6-for-6 on PATs) in his stint with Green Bay.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Retaining placekicking duties

    McManus (right quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    McManus thus is putting an end to a two-game absence due to the right quad that he tweaked during Week 6 prep. He's slated to handle his usual placekicking duties Week 8 while his fill-in Lucas Havrisik is a healthy scratch. In four appearances this season, McManus has connected on seven of nine field-goal attempts and 11 of 12 point-after tries.

  • Falcons' Parker Romo: Nails both kicks vs. Miami

    Romo made his lone field-goal attempt and connected on his only extra-point try during the Falcons' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Romo put the Falcons on the board with a 45-yard field goal early in the second quarter and added a PAT in the fourth frame, but he was otherwise idle as Atlanta struggled to move the ball down the field with Kirk Cousins under center for the injured Michael Penix (knee). Romo is now 10-for-13 on field-goal attempts and has made all 10 of his extra-point tries through six regular-season games.

  • 49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Quiet day in Week 8 loss

    Pineiro made his lone extra-point try during the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Pineiro was idle for most of Sunday's game, with his only kick attempt coming in the second quarter after a 17-yard touchdown pass from Mac Jones to George Kittle. Week 8 marked the first time this season that Pineiro did not attempt a field goal. He is 17-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 10-for-11 on extra-point tries through seven regular-season games.

    Browns' Andre Szmyt: Misses lone field-goal attempt

    Szmyt missed his lone field-goal attempt and made his only extra-point try during the Browns' 32-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Szmyt was unable to connect on a 47-yard field goal early in the second quarter, which would have extended the Browns' lead to 10-3. It was his third missed field goal of the season, and he is now 10-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 12-for-13 on point-after tries through the first eight games of the regular season.

  • Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Misses two kicks in Week 8 loss

    Fitzgerald went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and missed his lone extra-point try during the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Fitzgerald put the Panthers on the board with a 48-yard field goal midway through the second quarter. His last-second field-goal try from 32-yards at the end of the first half sailed wide left, and he followed that up by missing a point-after try in the fourth quarter. Week 8 was the second time this season that Fitzgerald missed a field goal and an extra point in the same game. Through eight regular-season games, Fitzgerald has gone 13-for-15 on field-goal tries and 13-for-15 on extra-point attempts.

    Giants' Graham Gano: Makes all four kicks in return

    Gano connected on both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Giants' 38-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Gano was activated from injured reserve Saturday and cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a groin injury he sustained during pregame warmups in Week 3 against the Chiefs. He connected on a 47-yard field goal late in the second quarter before nailing a 34-yard try late in the third frame. Gano has made all eight of his field-goal attempts and all six extra-point tries across four regular-season games.

  • Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Perfect day in Week 8 win

    Patterson made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during the Dolphins' 34-10 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Patterson gave the Dolphins a 10-3 lead in the second quarter with a 34-yard field goal before tacking on a 36-yarder in the fourth frame. He has made two field goals in five of his last seven games after not attempting a kick in Week 1, and he is now 11-for-12 on field-goal attempts and 19-for-19 on point-after tries through eight regular-season games.

    Jets' Nick Folk: Perfect on five kicks in Week 8

    Folk connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Jets' 39-38 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Folk put the Jets on the board early in the second quarter with a 46-yard field goal before connecting on two more chips shots from 25 and 24 yards. The 15-year veteran has yet to miss a kick through eight regular-season games, having gone 17-for-17 on field-goal tries and 9-for-9 on extra-point attempts in 2025.
