Boswell made both of his field-goal tries and went 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-24 victory against Baltimore.

Boswell put the Steelers on the board midway through the second quarter with a big 57-yard field goal. He added another FG -- this time a chip shot from 25 yards -- in the third period. The veteran kicker made his first two PAT tries, but he missed his third attempt, which came with less than one minute remaining in the game and could have given Pittsburgh a three-point lead. Though it wasn't immediately evident on the broadcast, the miss was eventually clarified to have been blocked, and it didn't end up costing the Steelers since Baltimore's Tyler Loop couldn't convert a 44-yard field-goal try as time expired. Boswell heads into the postseason having made 27 of 32 FG attempts -- including nine of 11 from 50-plus yards -- over 17 contests. The blocked PAT on Sunday was his first extra-point miss of the campaign on his 43rd try.

Little made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all five of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 41-7 win versus the Titans.

Little extended his streak of games without missing a kick to 10, and he created a very memorable moment in an otherwise very forgettable contest by booting a 67-yard field goal through the uprights that looked like it would have been good from 70. It was the second-longest made field goal in NFL history behind only Little's 68-yard missile against the Raiders in Week 9. He has earned a reputation as one of the best kickers in football going into the wild-card round when Jacksonville hosts the Bills.

Lutz connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Broncos' 19-3 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Three of Lutz's for field-goal attempts Sunday came from 26 yards or closer, with his longest attempt coming from 41 yards early in the fourth quarter. His four made field goals were his most in a game since Week 11 against the Chiefs (five), and the veteran kicker will end the 2025 regular season having gone 28-for-32 on field-goal attempts (87.5 percent) and 39-for-39 on extra-point tries through 17 games.

Dicker made his lone field goal during the Chargers' 19-3 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

The Chargers struggled to generate any offense Sunday with Trey Lance under center instead of Justin Herbert (coach's decision), but Dicker put the team on the board with a 30-yard chip shot as time expired in the first half. It was another productive season for Dicker, as he went 38-for-41 (92.7 percent) on field-goal attempts over 16 regular-season games to finish third in the NFL in made field goals behind Ka'imi Fairbairn (44) and Jason Myers (41). However, Dicker connected on just five of six field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards, which was his lowest over the last three years.

Butker went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 14-12 loss against the Raiders.

Butker boasted a healthy 87 percent conversion rate (33-for-38) on field goals in 2025, continuing a stretch of converting 84-plus percent in every season but one since joining the NFL back in 2017. He did struggle a bit more than usual on extra-point attempts, knocking home 31 of his 35 tries, but he was solid overall once again. Despite some issues offensively for the Chiefs this season, Butker's field-goal attempts matched the second-most of his career in 2019, likely due to the fact that there were just 35 extra-point attempts with fewer touchdowns scored. Butker remains under contract with the Chiefs for two more seasons and seems likely to retain his duties as Kansas City's placekicker in 2026.

The Bills signed Wright to their practice squad Tuesday.

Buffalo will bring Wright aboard as an insurance option at kicker in the event that Matt Prater (quadriceps) is unable to play in Sunday's wild-card game at Jacksonville. The well-traveled Wright has previously seen NFL action with eight teams over the last six seasons, converting 60 of his 68 field-goal attempts (88.2 percent) with a long of 59 yards over 33 career games.

Mevis connected on all three field-goal attempts and all four PAT tries during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals.

It was more of the same for Mevis, who has been rock solid since taking over the starting kicker role from Joshua Karty in Week 10. Over his nine games as the starter, Mevis was a perfect 39-for-39 on extra-point tries and 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts, with the lone miss a costly one in overtime against the Seahawks in Week 16. Despite the lone blemish on his record, Mevis has proven to be a reliable option at kicker for the Rams, something they've sorely lacked since the departure of Matt Gay after the 2022 season. The Rams likely will extend a contract offer to Mevis, an exclusive-rights free agent, after the playoffs, but for now he'll prepare for a wild-card round showdown against the Panthers on Saturday.

Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Patriots.

Patterson ultimately started all 17 regular-season games for Miami with Jason Sanders (hip) never gaining clearance to return from IR. In that span, Patterson converted 27 of 29 field-goal attempts and 34 of 35 extra-point tries, operating as one of the league's most accurate kickers. Patterson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason while Sanders remains under contract with the Dolphins. With that, Patterson may need to compete for a starting gig elsewhere in the league for the 2026 season.

Grupe converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-30 loss to Houston.

Grupe was perfect across his five-regular season appearances with Indianapolis, converting all 11 of his field-goal attempts and all 10 of his extra-point tries. He struggled more across his 11 regular-season appearances with the Saints, however, going 18-of-26 on field-goal attempts while nailing all 15 of his PATs in those games. He will be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, meaning the Colts will have the option to extend Grupe a one-year tender that would prevent him from negotiating with other teams.

Borregales converted one of two field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries during New England's 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Borregales wraps the regular season of his rookie campaign having suited up for all 17 games, and converting 27 of 32 field-goal attempts (84 percent) and 53 of 55 extra-point tries. Impressively, Borregales has converted all four of his attempts from 50-plus yards out so far. He'll look to remain steady as the Patriots enter the AFC Playoffs, beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Chargers.
