  • Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Nails game-winning kick

    Fitzgerald went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

    Fitzgerald made field goals from 31 and 55 yards in the first half, before connecting on a game-winning 33-yard field goal as time expired in regulation. The rookie has now gone 10-for-11 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while making 12 of 13 extra-point attempts over six games this season.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Misses long field goal late

    Boswell went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Steelers' 23-9 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Boswell was responsible for the Steelers' first nine points of the game after connecting on field goals from 44, 50 and 48 yards in the first half. He was brought out late in the fourth quarter for his fourth field-goal try of the game, but his 54-yard attempt fell well short after his planting leg slipped on the turf. Boswell has missed a field goal in two straight games and is 9-for-11 on field-goal tries through the first five games of the regular season.

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Perfect in Week 6 loss

    Grupe made all four of his field-goal attempts and connected on his lone extra-point try during the Saints' 25-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Grupe kept the Saints in striking distance with his boot Sunday, and he capped off his day with a 54-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. It was his second consecutive game with four made field goals, though just the second time this season that he has not missed a kick. Grupe has opened the regular season 14-for-19 on field-goal tries and 9-for-9 on extra-point attempts through six games.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Busy day in Week 6 win

    Dicker made all five of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Dicker helped the Bolts keep pace with three made field goals in the first half, and he put the finishing touches on the Chargers' come-from-behind win with a 33-yard chip shot late in the fourth quarter. All five of Dicker's field-goal attempts came from within 35 yards, and he finished Sunday's game having accounted for 17 of the Chargers' 29 points. His five made field goals matched a career high, and he has started the 2025 regular season a perfect 14-for-14 through six games.

  • 49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Connects on all four field goals

    Pineiro made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the 49ers' 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Three of Pineiro's four field goals came in the first half -- two of which were from 50-plus yards -- which helped keep the 49ers in striking distance heading into halftime. He connected on a 29-yard chip shot midway through the third quarter to cut the deficit to one point, but he wasn't brought out to kick after that, as the 49ers offense sputtered down the stretch. Pineiro has connected on four field goals in back-to-back games and is a perfect 15-for-15 across five regular-season contests. Pineiro and the 49ers will head back to San Francisco to host the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 19.

  • Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Filling in for McManus in Week 6

    Havrisik will serve as the Packers' placekicker Sunday against the Bengals with Brandon McManus (right quadriceps) inactive for the contest, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

    McManus tweaked his right quad at Wednesday's session and then was limited in practice throughout Week 6 prep. The situation spurred the Packers to host tryouts for Havrisik and Greg Joseph on Thursday, and the team signed the former to the active roster one day later. Now that McManus is confirmed to be inactive, Havrisik will fill in for him. Havrisik last kicked in the NFL in 2023 for the Rams, with whom he connected on 15 of 20 field-goal attempts and 19 of 22 point-after tries in nine appearances.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Inactive in Week 6

    McManus (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    McManus tweaked his right quadriceps at Wednesday's practice and went down as a limited participant on all three of the Packers' Week 6 injury reports. The Packers held tryouts for kickers Greg Joseph and Lucas Havrisik on Thursday, and the team signed the latter to the active roster Saturday as insurance in the event McManus couldn't go this weekend. Now that McManus has been confirmed to be unavailable, he'll hand off placekicking duties to Havrisik for at least one contest.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Jets' Nick Folk: Perfect in London

    Folk made all three of his field-goal tries during the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    The Jets offense struggled to move the ball down the field Sunday, but Folk helped New York keep pace with field goals from 52, 41 and 38 yards. His three made field goals were his most in a game in 2025, and the veteran kicker has converted on all 12 of his field-goal attempts and all seven of his extra-point tries through the first six games of the regular season.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Broncos' Wil Lutz: Makes three kicks in London

    Lutz went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Lutz put the Broncos on the board with a 57-yard field goal in the first quarter, and he connected on a 27-yard chip shot late in the fourth quarter to put Denver up for good. Lutz has not missed a kick since Week 2 against the Colts and is now 7-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-14 on extra-point tries through the first six games of the regular season.

  • Titans' Matthew Wright: Will kick for Tennessee in Week 6

    The Titans elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Wright was added to the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, and he will serve as Tennessee's kicker for Sunday's game against Las Vegas due to the absence of Joey Slye (calf). Wright appeared in five regular-season games between the Titans, Chiefs and 49ers in 2024 and went 15-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on extra-point tries.
