Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Closes out season impressively
Chase McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 52 and 25 yards and knocked home all three extra-point attempts in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished the 2024 regular season having gone 30-for-32 (93.8 percent) on field goals and 54-for-56 on PATs.The veteran kicker managed to inch past his previous career-best field-goal accuracy rate of 93.5 percent, which he'd established just last season, with Sunday's perfect tally. McLaughlin did misfire on extra-point tries for the first time since the 2021 season, but he'll enter the postseason as one of the most trusted kickers in the field of 14 teams and remains under contract with the Buccaneers through the 2026 season.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect on eight kicks Sunday
Chase McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 23 and 34 yards and connected on all six extra-point tries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday.The Buccaneers offense was impressively efficient throughout Sunday's lopsided victory, but McLaughlin was the beneficiary in the form of a couple of short field-goal tries on the rare occasions Baker Mayfield didn't cap off a possession with a touchdown pass. With his third straight perfect tally on field goals, McLaughlin is now sitting on a 93.3 percent success rate in that department for the season, just two-tenths of a percentage point behind last season's career-best figure heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Saints.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Clean performance in loss
Chase McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt (45 yards) and all three extra-point tries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 26-24 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.McLaughlin's one field-goal try came late in the third quarter and reduced the Buccaneers' deficit to nine points at the time. The perfect night pushed McLaughlin's field-goal success rate to 92.9 percent -- just a shade behind the career-best 93.5 percent figure he mustered in 2023 -- with his only two misses coming from 50-plus yards. Meanwhile he's already at career highs in PATs (47) and made extra points (45), leaving him in line to potentially hit or eclipse the 50-mark in each category with two games remaining.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Prolific afternoon in win
Chase McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 22, 37, 42 and 43 yards and knocked home all four extra-point tries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.The veteran kicker racked up 16 total points in the surprisingly comfortable victory, kicking a pair of field goals apiece in the first and second halves. The four made field goals tied a season high for McLaughlin, who'd just set that mark Week 13 against the Panthers. McLaughlin is up to a 92.6 percent success rate on field goals and 95.5 percent on PATs heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys that should also afford him plenty of scoring opportunities.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Limited to PATs in win
Chase McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and connected on all four extra-point tries during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.The veteran kicker failed to log a single field-goal attempt for the first time all season and only the fourth time during his 32 combined regular-season and postseason appearances with the Buccaneers. McLaughlin did boost his accuracy on PATs to 95.0 percent with his quartet of makes in as many tries Sunday, setting a new career high with 38 extra points in the process. McLaughlin could be busier on the field-goal front in a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers, considering Los Angeles' typically stingy defense and the fact the Bolts have allowed a league-low 41.9 percent red-zone touchdown success rate.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Compiles 14 points in OT win
Chase McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 27, 26, 51 and 30 yards, misfired on a 55-yard try and knocked home both PATs in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.As his final line corroborates, McLaughlin was a major factor in Tampa Bay's victory, although, ironically, he came one play from being the culprit in a potential loss. McLaughlin knocked a 55-yard try wide left at the end of the Buccaneers' first drive in overtime, but he subsequently made good on his chance to atone following Chuba Hubbard's fumble by drilling a game-winning 30-yard attempt. McLaughlin now has missed a kick in consecutive games -- he failed to convert one of his four PATs in Week 12 -- for the first time in his near two-season stint in Tampa Bay, but he'll remain an elite option for a fantasy-friendly home matchup against the Raiders in Week 14.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Connects on four of five kicks
Chase McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt (23 yards) and made three of four extra-point tries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.McLaughlin drilled a chip shot field-goal try early in the second quarter but went on to miss his second PAT attempt of the season following Baker Mayfield's 10-yard touchdown run just before halftime. McLaughlin pushed his success rate on field goals to a career-best 94.4 percent with Sunday's sole make, and he could be in for an even busier afternoon in a Week 13 road matchup against the vulnerable Panthers defense.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Another unblemished day Sunday
Chase McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 30 and 26 yards and also made both extra-point tries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.McLaughlin managed another productive afternoon despite the fact the Buccaneers offense was once again operating very short-handed at receiver. The veteran kicker's opportunities continue to be mostly unencumbered by the personnel losses, as Sunday marked McLaughlin's fourth consecutive game with four kicking opportunities despite the absences of Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) for the last three contests, and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) for the most recent two.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect on four kicks
Chase McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt from 47 yards out and was successful on all three extra-point tries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.McLaughlin once again maximized his opportunities and generated his second straight six-point performance. The veteran kicker is keeping pace with his career-best 2024, as he's posted a 93.3 percent success rate on field-goal attempts and has missed just one of his 28 PATs. McLaughlin's only field-goal miss has been from 50-plus yards, and he could be busier on that front during a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers if Tampa Bay's offense stalls out more than it did against Kansas City.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Another 50+ yard make Sunday
Chase McLaughlin drilled his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards and made all three extra-point tries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.McLaughlin was his usual reliable self, maximizing each opportunity he was given in the high-scoring divisional clash. The Buccaneers managed to remain reasonably efficient on offense despite the absences of their top two receivers, so McLaughlin arguably saw less field-goal opportunity than he might have been projected for going in. The veteran kicker is now 6-for-7 from 50+ yards following his long-distance make Sunday, and he could see his team's offense stall more often in scoring position versus a tough Chiefs defense on the road next Monday night.
