Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses 47-yard attempt
Koo made two of three field-goal attempts and didn't attempt a point-after try during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions.
Koo has missed a kick in back-to-back games. He missed a point-after try in Week 2 versus Green Bay and pulled a 47-yard field-goal attempt wide left during Sunday's double-digit loss. Since becoming a full-time starter in 2020, Koo has missed just 16 kicks. However, nine of those have come over his last 20 appearances. It's not time to hit the panic button just yet, as Koo has been resilient after wayward stretches in his career.

Vikings' Greg Joseph: Sees limited attempts again
Jospeh made his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Chargers.
Joseph was good from 23 yards out in the second quarter, in what was just his second FGA of the season through three games. He's now 2-for-2 on field goals and 9-for-9 on PATs this season. He'll have the potential for more opportunities in Week 4 against Carolina.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Lions' Riley Patterson: Attempts multiple field goals
Patterson converted both field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Sunday's 20-6 win over Atlanta.
A drop in red-zone efficiency was inevitable for a Lions offense that racked up seven touchdowns over the first two weeks. This benefited Patterson's investors after the kicker received just one attempt in those previous contests, though his production was still a couple of steps below what some other kickers around the league have been putting up. Next for Patterson is a road trip to Lambeau Field on a short week to play a Packers defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest points thus far into the season.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: No good on long field goal
Dicker missed his lone field-goal attempt from 53 yards out, but he did connect on all four of his extra-point attempts in the 28-24 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Dicker isn't known for his strong leg, so the missed field goal isn't entirely surprising. The second-year kicker is just 1-of-3 on attempts from 50-plus yards in his career, including the playoffs; however, he's missed just one other field goal out of his 26 tries to date. Dicker figures to be in a good spot to add to that total in a matchup against the vulnerable Raiders defense this week.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Continues perfect streak
Lutz went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries while making both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 70-20 loss to the Dolphins.
Lutz was perfect on kicks for the second straight week, albeit in a blowout loss to the Dolphins. The veteran connected on field goals from 25 and 31 yards out in the contest. Lutz will look to improve upon Sunday's performance when the Broncos visit the Bears in Week 4, as Chicago is giving up an average of 35 points per game this season.

Matt Gay K | SF
Colts' Matt Gay: Clutch performance
Gay connected on all five of his field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 22-19 overtime win over the Ravens.
Gay was vital to his team's victory in Week 3, connecting on four field goals from 50-plus yards. Most significant were his makes from 53 yards out with just over a minute left in the game to tie it, then again from 53 in overtime to get the win. He also made a third field goal from 53 yards, another from 54, and one from 31, in his perfect 5-for-5 performance. Next up for Gay is a Week 4 matchup against his former team, the Rams.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Commanders' Joey Slye: Makes only kick
Slye made his lone kick, a 51-yard field-goal try, in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Bills.
Slye missed from 49 and 59 yards in Week 2, but he bounced back in Week 3 when called upon to score the team's only points. The field goal came with only 50 seconds left in the game, which at least helped Washington avoid getting shut out. His next opportunities will come in Week 4 against the Eagles.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Stays perfect
Butker made all five of his extra-point tries and connected on both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.
Butker has yet to miss this season, and with makes from 41 and 38 yards out in Week 3, he is now 5-for-5 on the year on FGAs and has also drilled all nine extra-point tries. Next up for Butker is the Jets in Week 4.

Jason Sanders K | MIA
Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Money on extra-point tries
Sanders didn't attempt a field goal during Sunday's 70-20 win over the Broncos. He converted all 10 of his extra-point tries.
Sanders finished Week 3 with what will likely be the strangest stat line of his career courtesy of a Miami offense that exhibited complete mastery over a Denver defense that was outmatched in attempting to contain coach Mike McDaniel's inventive scheme. The Dolphins have what promises to be a more competitive affair on deck Week 4 against the Bills. Sanders attempted three field goals in each of Miami's first two games of the season.

Anders Carlson K | NYJ
Packers' Anders Carlson: Makes game-sealing kick
Carlson made a 38-yard field goal and an extra point in Sunday's 18-17 victory over the Saints.
Carlson only had a couple opportunities to put points on the board in Week 3, but his field goal early in the fourth quarter and his extra point late in the same stanza bookended an 18-0 scoring run that gave the Packers the win. Carlson remains perfect three games into his rookie season, but he has yet to make -- or even attempt -- more than one field goal in a game.
