Falcons kicker Matt Bryant, who went without a field goal when the team last played in Week 5, returned from the bye with a respectable seven points Week 7 against the Buccaneers. He kicked a 23-yard field goal in the second quarter and also had four extra points.

Bryant has scored at least seven points in four of six games this season. He'll visit the Cardinals in Week 8.

Jets kicker Nick Folk successfully converted all three of his field goal attempts in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Patriots. 

Folk converted a 37-yarder in the second quarter, a 37-yarder in the third, and a game-winning 42-yarder in overtime. Folk had missed his initial attempt in overtime, but a flag was thrown against the Patriots for unsportsmanlike conduct. The offense marched up the field about 10 yards, and Foles hit the game-winner. 

The Jets face the Bengals in Week 8.

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, who did not practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, was back at it Saturday. Walsh is officially probable to play in the Monday night game Week 7 at New York. He has gone 9 for 10 on field goals in five games this season for 41 points.

Saints kicker Garrett Hartley racked up nine points in Sunday's loss to the Patriots in Week 6.

Hartley booted a 28-yard shot in the third quarter and a 39-yard attempt in the fourth quarter. He finished a perfect 2 of 2 in field goal attempts and converted all three of his extra point attempts in a 30-27 defeat.

Broncos kicker Matt Prater did not attempt a field goal Week 6 against the Jaguars. 

The Denver offense was effective, limiting Prater to just extra point attempts. Thankfully, Prater plays on a high scoring team, and had 5 extra point opportunities. He'll look to hit from further away Week 7 against the Colts. 

Jets kicker Nick Folk didn't have any extra points Week 6 against the Steelers, but he kicked multiple field goals for the fourth straight game and the fifth time in six games this season. He had a 25-yarder in the first quarter and a 39-yarder in the second.

Sunday was just the second time in six games Tucker had less than two field goals. The Ravens are back in action Week 7 at Pittsburgh.

Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein had plenty of opportunities in Week 6 against the Texans, though most came after touchdowns in a 38-13 win.

Zuerlein kicked just one field goal, nailing a 42-yard attempt. He added five extra-point attempts to finish with eight points.

Zuerlein has yet to miss a field goal this year, as he is perfect on nine tries.
