  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: Continues strong start

    Bass made his only field-goal attempt as well as all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 38-20 win over the Chiefs.

    Bass converted from 30 yards on his lone field goal, which along with his handful of PATs allowed the second-year kicker to remain atop the league in points (52) at his position this season.

  • Ravens' Justin Tucker: Just three points

    Tucker made his only field-goal try but did not attempt an extra point in Monday night's 31-25 overtime win against the Colts.

    Tucker converted from 23 yards on his lone attempt Monday, when the Ravens utilized two-point conversions to make a historic comeback. Despite his quiet outing in Week 5, Tucker is still tied for sixth league-wide in points among kickers this season.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Cardinals' Matt Prater: Misses kick Sunday

    Prater missed one of his two field-goal attempts but made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-10 win over the 49ers.

    Prater's lone misfire came on an ambitious 61-yard attempt as the first half expired. Prior to then, he converted on a 21-yarder during the second quarter. With five total points Sunday, Prater now boasts 43 on the season, currently ranking fifth in the category among kickers league-wide.

  • Matthew Wright: Reverts back to practice squad

    Wright reverted back to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Wright operated as the primary kicker Sunday, as Josh Lambo (coach's decision) was inactive. However, he failed to take advantage of the opportunity, as he hit the upright on a PAT during the first quarter and left a 53-yard field goal short.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect again

    Sanders converted his only field-goal try and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

    The Dolphins' offense once again failed to provide Sanders with many opportunities, but he remains steadfast when called upon. The fourth-year pro has only missed one field-goal attempt all season, but he's also only had six opportunities through five games.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Perfect day in win

    Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

    Elliott now has back-to-back games with at least two field goals for the first time in more than a year. He's missed just one kick out of 18 this season, including extra points.

  • Broncos' Brandon McManus: Remains perfect in loss

    McManus connected on both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers.

    McManus made field goals from 29 and 39 yards Sunday. With this performance, the veteran kicker continues without a miss in the 2021 campaign. Up next, the Broncos host a Raiders team giving up an average of 24 points per game to start the season, which could give McManus ample opportunity to keep his streak alive.

  • Colts' Rodrigo Blankenship: Battling hip injury

    Blankenship played through a hip injury suffered during the first quarter of Monday night's game against Baltimore, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Blankenship obviously wasn't right after suffering the injury, missing one of two extra points and two of four field goal attempts. One of his field goal misses would have won his team the game as time expired. It's currently unclear if the injury will force Blankenship to miss time, but the Colts will likely audition other placekickers heading into Week 6 against the Texans.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    49ers' Joey Slye: Solid debut in SF

    Slye connected from 47 yards out and converted his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Arizona.

    Slye took over for Robbie Gould (groin), who was placed on IR last week. The 25-year-old went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts with Houston prior to being scooped up by San Francisco. Slye should continue to start for at least two more games while Gould is on the mend, starting with a matchup against the Colts in Week 7 following the team's bye.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Makes 54-yard game winner

    Joseph converted a 54-yard field goal as time expired to give Minnesota a win over Detroit on Sunday. He also made field goals from 38, 38, 55 and 54 yards but missed from 49 yards, and he converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's win over Detroit.

    While Joseph missed a potential game-winning 37-yard field goal as time expired in a loss to Arizona, he's also converted long field goals at the buzzer against Detroit and Cincinnati. As a result, he should have a decent hold on the job despite head coach Mike Zimmer's fickle ways with kickers.
