    Titans' Nick Folk: Nails game-winning kick

    Folk made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

    Folk made kicks from 33 and 41 yards, the latter of which was the game-winning boot in overtime. He's had a good start to his tenure in Tennessee by going 7-for-7 on field goal attempts across two games, including one from over 50 yards.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Solid showing in Week 2 win

    McLaughlin made two of three field-goal attempts (26 and 25 yards) and all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also had a 40-yard field-goal attempt blocked.

    The block came on the first play of the second quarter and served as the only blemish on McLaughlin's afternoon, and season, thus far. McLaughlin's two field-goal tries Sunday were essentially chip shots, but he has already proven his long-distance prowess once this season by nailing a 57-yarder in the Week 1 win over the Vikings. McLaughlin may have fewer overall opportunities Week 3, however, as a tough Eagles defense comes to town for a showdown next Monday night.

  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Hits all four attempts Week 2

    Grupe went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Monday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

    Grupe remained perfect through the second game of his career. The undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame hit field-goal tries of 28 and 23 yards in the first and third quarters, respectively, thus keeping the Saints ahead 6-3 heading into halftime. Grupe will look to keep up this strong start when the Saints welcome the Packers to New Orleans in Week 3.

  • Lions' Riley Patterson: Just one field-goal attempt

    Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt and four of four PATs during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to Seattle.

    Detroit's continued success with finding the end zone upon getting into enemy territory again limited Patterson's output. However, this week the kicker's stats were at least buoyed by four extra points, and it is a positive he seems to be attached to a relatively fast-paced and efficient offense that ranks fourth in offensive yards per play (5.9) and 11th in offensive plays per game (67.0) through two weeks. Better days should be ahead for Patterson as the Lions enter a Week 3 matchup with the Falcons.

  • Austin Seibert: Returns to practice squad

    Seibert reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.

    Seibert connected on his only two kicks during Sundays' loss to the Cowboys - a 34-yard field goal and an extra point - while playing in place of Greg Zuerlein (groin). With Zuerlein's status for Week 3 against the Patriots still up in the air, Seibert could be the subject of another promotion ahead of that game.

  • Brett Maher K | LAR

    Rams' Brett Maher: Perfect in Sunday's loss

    Maher converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his PATs in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the 49ers.

    The Rams have given Maher plenty of opportunities to produce with a surprisingly robust offensive attack, and unlike last week's mixed performance, Maher was able to convert all of his field goal attempts from 38, 43 and 48 yards. The veteran's grip on the placekicker job should tighten after an encouraging performance, and he'll look to keep the momentum going in Week 3 against the Bengals.

  • Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Drills three FGs

    McManus converted all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    McManus provided Jacksonville's only offense in Sunday's loss, making field goals of 22, 32 and 49 yards. The 32-year-old is off to the strong start for the Jaguars, as he's 4-for-4 on PATs and 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts through two games.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    49ers' Jake Moody: Hits from 57 yards

    Moody was a perfect 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams.

    The 49ers have kept Moody busy with 12 combined kicking opportunities through the first two games of the season. The third-round rookie responded by converting every attempt without drama, including a 57-yard drive that split the uprights Sunday. Moody will look to keep the strong start to his career rolling against the Giants on Thursday.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Doesn't miss in loss

    Dicker connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    Dicker's long in Sunday's contest was just 33 yards, as the second-year kicker benefitted from an offense that struggled to punch it in the end zone. Expect Dicker to be a sneaky streaming kicker option in what figures to be an offensive matchup between the Chargers and Vikings in Week 3.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Produces four points in loss

    Carlson made both his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills.

    Carlson's output was limited by the Raiders' offensive struggles, but he still managed to convert a 47-yard field goal in the second quarter before the game got out of hand. Carlson will be kicking indoors at Allegiant Stadium against the Steelers in Week 3 as Las Vegas makes its 2023 home debut.
