McLaughlin went 3-for-4 on FG tries in Saturday's 16-14 win over Carolina and finished the campaign with a career-best 32 field-goal makes on 38 attempts over 17 contests. He also made 32 of 33 extra-point tries. McLaughlin's lone miss Saturday was blocked, but he accounted for the Buccaneers' final nine points with field goals from 29, 36 and 48 yards out, respectively. His leg helped Tampa Bay notch a close victory to keep the team's playoff hopes alive, but the Bucs were ultimately eliminated when Atlanta beat the Saints on Sunday. McLaughlin's 32 field-goal tries and 38 attempts during the campaign were both career-high marks, though this was the first time he converted fewer than 90 percent of his tries since 2022. Nonetheless, the veteran kicker thrived from long distance, going 11-for-12 on FG attempts from 50-plus yards. McLaughlin is signed through next year, so he'll almost certainly be Tampa Bay's kicker when the team begins the regular season next September.

McLaughlin made one of two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. McLaughlin had a 55-yard field-goal attempt blocked late in the second quarter, and the Bucs went to halftime trailing 17-7. The veteran kicker later made one from 33 yards. McLaughlin hadn't missed a field-goal try since Week 6 prior to Sunday. He's now 29-for-34 on field goals and 31-for-32 on PATs through 16 contests.

McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra points in Tampa Bay's 23-20 loss to Carolina on Sunday. McLaughlin converted 50- and 23-yard field goals against the Panthers and hasn't missed a kick since Week 6. On the season, the veteran kicker has made 28 of 32 field-goal tries and 29 of 30 extra-point attempts. He'll be in a good spot next Sunday against the Dolphins' anemic defense.

McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Thursday's Week 15 loss to Atlanta. McLaughlin got called upon twice for field-goal tries in the second quarter, converting from 49 and 52 yards out. It was his third straight game making two field goals, and McLaughlin hasn't missed a kick since Week 6 against San Francisco. He's been very accurate overall this season, going 26-for-30 on FG attempts and 27-of-28 on PATs through 14 contests.

McLaughlin connected on his lone field-goal attempt and made both of his point-after tries during the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. McLaughlin extended his streak of at least one made field goal to seven games after connecting on a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter of Sunday's loss. He is now 18-for-22 on field-goal attempts and 18-for-19 on extra-point tries through nine regular-season games.
