  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Misses field goal in Week 2

    Butker went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

    Butker missed a 58-yard field goal wide right in the first quarter before later connecting on a 56-yarder to finish off the team's first possession of the second quarter. The kicker's miss proved to be the difference in the contest, though it's hard to pin the blame on him considering the distance. Butker has now converted four of five field goals, two of which were from 50-plus yards, and made two out of three PATs over the first two games in 2025.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Connects on all five kicks

    McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries during the Bengals' 31-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    All of McPherson's kicks came from within 35 yards, with his lone field goal coming from 31 yards out in the second quarter to cut the Bengals' deficit to four points. McPherson went just 16-for-22 on his field-goal attempts during the 2024 regular season, but he has converted on all eight of his kick attempts through the first two games of the 2025 campaign. However, his fantasy floor could be impacted, considering Jake Browning is set to take over as the Bengals' starting quarterback since Joe Burrow is expected to miss a minimum of three months while recovering from surgery on his toe turf injury, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

  • Patriots' Andres Borregales: Overcomes early blunders

    Borregales went 1-for-3 on extra-point attempts but made both of his field-goal tries during the Patriots' 33-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Borregales got off to a dreadful start by missing his first two extra-point tries. However the rookie sixth-rounder was able to rebound with a 22-yard chip shot before connecting on a 53-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a six-point lead. Borregales has missed three kicks to start the season and will look for more consistent results in Week 3 against the Steelers on Sunday.

    Browns' Andre Szmyt: Bounces back against Ravens

    Szmyt made his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Ravens.

    Szmyt had a few high-profile misses in Week 1 that cost the Browns a chance at victory. The stakes were lower in Sunday's blowout loss, but he did manage to convert a 38-yard field goal attempt late in the second quarter. Szmyt will need to continue proving himself, but he showed improvement in Week 2.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Makes two FGAs in Week 2

    Karty went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and 3-for-4 on PATs in Sunday's 33-19 win over the Titans.

    Karty was much busier in Week 2, connecting on a 21-yard field goal in the second quarter before adding another 21-yard make to cap off the team's first possession in the third quarter. The kicker did not attempt a field goal in Week 1, and he has yet to be tasked with trying one from a challenging distance in 2025.

  • Falcons' Parker Romo: Back to practice squad

    Romo reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday.

    Romo was elevated to the Falcons' active roster for Week 2 and took over as the team's kicker for Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings, finishing 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and knocking down his lone extra-point try. Though Romo is back on the practice squad, head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that there is "about a 90 percent chance" that Romo is called upon to handle kicking duties Week 3 against the Panthers. Younghoe Koo was inactive for the Falcons' Week 2 win, though Morris relayed that the team hasn't made a permanent decision on a kicker between Romo and Koo for the rest of the season. Even so, a strong performance in the Falcons' upcoming NFC South clash would give Romo the inside edge on maintaining the kicking job for the foreseeable future.

  • 49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Misses PAT in Niners debut

    Pineiro went 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts and made both of his field-goal tries during the 49ers' 26-21 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Pineiro made his 49ers' debut Sunday after the team cut Jake Moody this past Tuesday. Things didn't start well for Pineiro after he missed his first extra-point attempt late in the first quarter, but he settled in to make his two following PATs while connecting on field goals from 44 and 46 yards in the second and third quarters, respectively. A reliable boot will give head coach Kyle Shanahan more confidence to turn to Pineiro to get three points rather than being forced to keep the offense on the field for fourth downs in opposing territory.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Misses crucial kick in loss

    Lutz missed his lone field-goal attempt but made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.

    Lutz only field-goal attempt was a 42-yard try late in the fourth quarter that would have given the Broncos a five-point lead over the Colts. Instead, the veteran missed the kick, hitting the right upright in the process. The Colts would then go on to make a field goal of their own to win the game in walk-off fashion. With Denver's offense operating at a high level and finding the end zone on multiple occasions Sunday, Lutz was not relied upon as much as usual. The 31-year-old will look to get back on track when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 3.

  • Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Remains perfect through Week 2

    Fitzgerald converted on his only field-goal attempt and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals.

    Despite the Panthers scoring three touchdowns in Week 2, Fitzgerald attempted just one extra point, with Carolina electing to attempt two-point conversions on each of its first two scores. The 25-year-old also connected on a 27-yard field goal in the first quarter of Sunday's loss, cutting Arizona's lead to seven points at the time. He will look to remain perfect when the Panthers host the Falcons in Week 3.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Hits upright Sunday

    Myers connected on one of two field-goal attempts and made all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.

    Myers hit the left upright on a 36-yard field-goal try in the second quarter, but he bounced back in the fourth quarter by drilling a 54-yarder. The veteran kicker was perfect from within 40 yards last season, and he should remain a stable kicking option moving forward.
