Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Perfect in win
Chad Ryland made all three of his field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-17 win versus the Patriots.Ryland converted a 49-yard attempt on Arizona's first drive of Sunday's contest, and that seemed to help him find a rhythm after missing one field-goal attempt in each of his previous three games. He'll be looking to keep it going in Week 16 when the Arizona Cardinals travel to take on Carolina's porous defense.

Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Misses FG attempt in loss
Chad Ryland made his only point-after attempt and missed one of two field-goal tries in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.Ryland was good from 28 yards out but hit the left upright on a 40-yard attempt that could have brought Arizona within six points midway through the fourth quarter. The second-year pro is now 19-for-23 on field-goal attempts this season in nine games, with all four misses coming between 40 and 49 yards. With a Matt Prater (knee) return looming, it's possible Ryland won't be the Arizona Cardinals' kicker much longer.

Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Season-high point tally Sunday
Chad Ryland connected on five of six field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Sunday's 23-22 loss at Minnesota.The Arizona Cardinals offense continually stalled in the red zone, affording Ryland successful FGAs from 32, 31, 24, 40 and 23 yards. His only miss, a 45-yard attempt early in the second quarter, ultimately ended up being the difference in the one-point defeat, but Sunday's 16-point outing marked his most productive of the campaign by a large margin (his previous high in a game was 10 points back in Week 5 at San Francisco). Matt Prater, Arizona's primary kicker, hasn't made any notable progress as he resides on injured reserve due to a left knee injury, so Ryland is lined up to continue in his current role next Sunday against the Seahawks.

Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Handles all the scoring
Chad Ryland made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-6 loss to the Seahawks.Ryland was successful on 35 and 22-yard FGAs to account for all six points Arizona put on the board Sunday. However, the second-year pro did miss a 47-yard opportunity wide left with just seconds left in the game, which could have pulled the Arizona Cardinals within eight. With a Matt Prater (knee) return looming, it's possible this was Ryland's last week as the team's kicker.

Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Solid in runaway win
Chad Ryland converted his only field-goal try and made all four of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 31-6 win versus the Jets.Ryland's only field goal came from just 37 yards out as time expired in the first half, so nothing especially difficult was asked of him in Week 10. With that said, he now hasn't missed a kick since Week 5 and projects as a solid fantasy option for the home stretch of the season after the Arizona Cardinals' bye in Week 11.

Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Strikes true on all five kicks
Chad Ryland connected on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 29-9 victory over the Bears.With his successful 55-yard field goal in the fourth quarter Sunday, Ryland now has made 50-plus yarders in back-to-back games, and he's so far missed just one kick (a 45-yard FGA that was blocked and returned for a TD in Week 5 at San Francisco) in five games subbing in for the injured Matt Prater (knee). Prater must miss at least one more contest while on injured reserve, so Ryland again is poised to handle placekicking duties for the Arizona Cardinals this coming Sunday against the Jets.

Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Makes all three kicks Sunday
Chad Ryland made both field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 34-13 loss in Green Bay.Filling in for Matt Prater (left knee) for a second consecutive game, Ryland was perfect this time around after having a 45-yard FGA blocked and returned for a touchdown during a Week 5 win at San Francisco. Ryland also reverted to the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL"s transaction log. With Arizona not playing again until next Monday versus the Chargers, Prater will be given a bit more time than normal to prove his health, but he may need to get back to full participation between Thursday and Saturday to have a chance to play Week 7. Ryland will handle placekicking duties if Prater isn't able to in that contest.
