Vikings kicker Blair Walsh booted a game-winning, 34-yard field goal in overtime Sunday, as Minnesota escaped with a 23-20 win vs. Chicago. Walsh finished with 11 points.

Walsh's first field goal didn't come until he made a 32-yard kick with 7:08 left in the third quarter. He then sent the game to overtime with a 30-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining.

Walsh won the game momentarily with a 39-yard field goal with 8:04 left in overtime, but it came off the board thanks to a 15-yard facemask penalty on Rhett Ellison. Two plays later, Walsh missed a 57-yard field goal wide left.

After Robbie Gould missed a 47-yard field goal on the Bears' next drive, Walsh got one more chance to play the hero and came through with the game-winning kick.

The Vikings are back in action Week 14 at Baltimore.

Panthers kicker Graham Gano kicked two field goals -- a 22-yarder and a 23-yarder -- and three extra points Week 13 against the Buccaneers. The nine points gave him at least eight for the second straight game and the sixth time this season.

The Panthers visit the Saints in Week 14.

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant hit his two field goal opportunities Week 13 against the Bills.

Bryant hit a 49 yard field goal at the end of the second quarter, and then hit a game-winner from 36 yards out in overtime. The Falcons also managed to score four touchdowns, giving Bryant four extra points. He’ll take on the Packers Week 14. 

The Jets offense managed to do very little right in Week 13 against the Dolphins, so kicker Nick Folk barely had any chances to contribute in a 23-3 loss. Folk made his lone field-goal attempt for the second straight week, connecting from 20 yards out.

Folk has now scored three or fewer points in tree straight games, while attempting on three field goals and two extra points in that span. The Jets' offense has floundered recently, limiting his chances.

New York's next game is set for Week 14 against the Raiders.  

Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis opened Sunday's game against the Jets in Week 13 with a missed field goal, but made up for it later in a 23-3 win.

Sturgis ended the team's first drive of the game by missing from 41 yards out. Fortunately, he got plenty of other chances, as the Dolphins' offense stalled numerous times in the red zone. He connected from 34, 43 and 18 yards and added two extra points to finish the game with 11 points, his second game in a row with more than 10.

Sturgis heads to Week 14 against the Steelers having connected on 23 of 30 field-goal attempts in his rookie season. 

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker accounted for 16 points and played a huge role in a 22-20 win over the Steelers. Tucker nailed all five of his field-goal tries, bringing his successful streak to 27 makes. Tucker connected from 43, 34, 38, 45 and 48 yards, while adding a lone point after touchdown in the win.

Tucker missed two field goals in the second game of the season, but has been perfect otherwise. He enters Week 14 against the Vikings 29 for 31 on the season.  

Broncos kicker Matt Prater wasn't asked to do much as he was held to just one field goal during Sunday's overtime loss to the Patriots in Week 12.

Prater drilled a 27-yard field goal in the first quarter. He went 1 for 1 in field goal attempts and added four extra points in a 34-31 defeat. He is 15 of 16 on the year with 54 extra points.

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh totaled a season-high 14 points and four field goals during a 26-all tie Week 12 at Green Bay. Walsh also made two extra points Sunday.

Walsh's first field goal came in the first quarter -- a 36-yarder. He then made a 47-yard field goal in the second quarter. Walsh added a 29-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and tied the game at 26 in overtime with a 35-yard conversion.

Walsh has made multiple field goals six times, including in three straight games. He's scored at least 10 points in two of his last three games. The Vikings are back in action Week 13 vs. Chicago.

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was a perfect 4 for 4 on field goals Week 12 against the Jets, kicking a 26-yarder, a 30-yarder, a 33-yarder and a season-long 53-yarder. He also had one extra point. It was his second game with four field goals this season and his ninth straight without a miss. He's a perfect 22 for 22 during that stretch.

The Ravens host the Steelers in Week 13.

Panthers kicker Graham Gano missed his first field-goal attempt in Week 12 against the Dolphins, but bounced back nicely in a 20-16 win. Gano missed from 35 yards out to open the game, but made up for that with makes from 52 and 46 yards in the first half.

Gano added two extra points in the win as well, finishing with eight points. Gano has missed just two of his 18 field-goal attempts on the season, while making six from 50-plus yards. Gano's next game is set for Week 13 against the Buccaneers
