Ryan Fitzgerald K | CAR
Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Delivers game-winning kick
Fitzgerald made his only field-goal attempt and went 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.
Fitzgerald missed an extra-point attempt short in third quarter after it was pushed back 15 yards following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on running back Rico Dowdle. The kicker redeemed himself later, though, connecting on a game-winning 49-yard field goal as time expired in regulation. Fitzgerald has now gone 14-for-16 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while making 14 of 17 PATs over nine games so far in his rookie campaign.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes lone FGA in overtime loss
Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
Carlson missed his first extra-point attempt of the day wide right in the first quarter, which would prove to be costly later in the game. The kicker added his only field goal of the day in the third quarter, connecting on a chip-shot 24-yard attempt. Carlson has now gone 12-for-15 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 10 of 11 PATs over eight games this year.

Graham Gano K | NYG
Giants' Graham Gano: Goes 1-for-2 on FG tries in Week 9
Gano made one of two field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries Sunday in a loss to San Francisco.
Gano was wide left on a 45-yard try just before halftime to conclude an ugly first half for the Giants. He did manage to convert a chip-shot 22-yarder midway through the third quarter and made all three of his extra-point attempts. The field-goal miss was Gano's first of the campaign -- he had been 8-for-8 coming into Sunday, though he's missed four contests due to a groin injury.

Andres Borregales K | NE
Patriots' Andy Borregales: Perfect in Week 9
Borregales made his only field-goal try and went 3-for-3 on PATs in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.
Borregales capped off the team's first possession of the second half with a 32-yard field goal, making at least one field goal for the fifth consecutive week. The kicker has settled in rather nicely in his rookie campaign, going 13-for-14 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making 24 of 26 extra-point tries over nine contests so far.

Jake Bates K | DET
Lions' Jake Bates: Tough luck in loss
Bates went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
Bates connected on a 41-yard field goal in the final moments of the third quarter before he had a 45-yard try blocked in the fourth quarter. The kicker has now made one or fewer field goals in four consecutive games and six of the last seven contests overall. On the year, Bates has gone 9-for-13 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making all 30 of his PATs over eight games.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Packers' Brandon McManus: Costly missed field goal in loss
McManus went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.
McManus made field goals from 49 and 27 yards in the second quarter before missing a 43-yard attempt wide left at the conclusion of the team's first possession of the second half. The kicker has now gone 4-for-7 on field-goal tries over two games since returning from a quadriceps injury, and on the year he's gone a disappointing 11-for-16 overall through six games. While McManus was sidelined for Week 6 and 7, Lucas Havrisik went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries, including a franchise-record 61-yard make, while making all six of his PATs. It's unclear if the Packers would swap to Havrisik, who's still on the team's active roster.

Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Makes pair of field goals in loss
Butker made both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.

Slye was able to get back on track in Week 9, making a 49-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 37-yarder in the fourth. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in six contests this year, and he's connected on 17 of 23 field-goal attempts, including 6-for-9 from 50-plus yards, through eight games overall.

Cam Little K | JAC
Jaguars' Cam Little: Makes history with 68-yard FG
Little made all three of his field-goal attempts and each of his three point-after tries during the Jaguars' 30-29 overtime win over the Raiders on Sunday.
It was a nice bounce-back performance for Little, who had missed three of his last four kicks entering Week 9. He put the Jaguars on the board as time expired in the first half with a 68-yard field goal, and in doing so broke the NFL record for the longest made field goal, which was previously held by Justin Tucker (66 yards). It wasn't even Little's longest make of his NFL career, as he connected on a 70-yard field goal during the Jaguars' first preseason contest. The second-year kicker is now 13-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 17-for-18 on extra-point tries through eight regular-season games.
