Patterson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his PATs during Sunday's 37-30 win over Green Bay.

Patterson will thus finish his rookie campaign having made 100 percent of his field goals from within 50 yards and 100 percent of his PATs. While the Lions didn't ask him to take many long field goals this season and Patterson missed his only attempt from beyond 50 yards, there's no doubting that the Memphis product brought stability to Detroit's kicking game down the stretch after the team struggled to replace Matt Prater early on. With Patterson now set to be an exclusive-rights free agent at the end of the league year, the 22-year-old seems like the obvious favorite to open the 2022 campaign as Detroit's top option at placekicker.
