Fairbairn converted both field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys in Week 11. Fairbairn made chip shots from 33 and 29 yards to improve to an 84-percent (26 of 31) success rate for the season. That's pretty good, considering how many he attempts from beyond the 50, but it's below what has been his norm the last two seasons. Fairbairn connected on 95 percent (56 of 59) of his kicks in 2022 and 2023 combined. Monday's 10 points was his eighth double-digit effort in 11 games and put him over the 100-point mark for the season.

Fairbairn connected on three of four field-goal attempts and nailed both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10. Fairbairn, who missed a pair of field-goal tries in a Week 9 loss to Jets, rebounded with an 11-point effort, his seventh double-digit week in 10 games. His lone miss was wide left on a 56-yard attempt late in the game, which gave possession to the Lions near midfield and set up their game-winning field goal with no time left on the clock. Despite the miss, it's hard to pin this loss on Fairbairn; all finger-pointing should be directed at the defense and offense. Houston owned a 23-7 halftime lead but failed to build on that advantage and allowed Detroit to score on its final three possessions.

Fairbairn made two of four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets in Week 9. Fairbairn misfired from 56 yards near the end of the first half and later hit the upright on a 27-yard attempt. It's rare he has two misses in a game, particularly when one is a chip shot inside the 30. His makes were from 54 and 29 yards. While the misses altered the trajectory of the game, this loss was more on the offense than the kicker.

Fairbairn converted all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts in Week 8. Rinse and repeat for Fairbairn, who recorded double-digit scoring for a fourth straight week and the sixth time in eight contests. The Texans had issues finishing drives in the red zone and settled for field goals on three of them. Fairbairn is averaging 9.3 points per game and has been successful on an impressive nine of 10 kicks from the 50 and beyond.

Fairbairn converted two of three field goals and all five extra-point kicks in Sunday's 41-21 win over New England in Week 6. Fairbairn drilled field goals from 39 and 46 yards but was wide right from 40 yards out on his first try of the day in the second quarter. It was the second straight week with 11 points for Fairbairn, who has four double-digit efforts through six games in 2024. He currently ranks fifth among kickers with 53 points.
