  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Nails all four kicks vs. NYG

    Reichard connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and made his lone point-after try during the Vikings' 16-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Reichard was responsible for 10 of the Vikings' 16 points Sunday, connecting on field goals from 43, 31 and 30 yards. It's the 10th time this season that the second-year kicker has made two or more field goals in a game, and his three makes were his most since Week 7 against the Eagles, when he made all five of his field-goal attempts. Reichard has been one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL this season, and through 15 regular-season games he has gone 27-for-29 on field-goal attempts (93.1 percent) and 28-for-28 on point-after tries.

  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Connects on five field goals

    Smyth went 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during the Saints' 29-6 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Smyth missed a 61-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter, but that was his only blemish on the day. He accounted for 17 of the Saints' 29 points, with three of his five field goals coming from within 40 yards. Smyth and the Saints agreed to terms on a three-year contract Saturday, and the Northern Irish kicker has gone 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 7-for-7 on point-after tries through four regular-season games.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Perfect in OT loss

    McManus converted all three field goal attempts and his sole extra-point try in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday.

    McManus made field goals from 25 yards, 21 yards and 27 yards, adding an extra point in the third quarter after Malik Willis' 33-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs. The kicker moves to 22-of-28 on field goal tries and 29-of-30 on extra-point attempts over 12 contests.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Converts three field goals in win

    Santos made all three of his field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt Saturday in a 22-16 overtime win against Green Bay.

    Weather conditions were far from ideal for kickers, as high winds provided a significant challenge. That made Santos' accuracy all the more impressive -- his field-goal makes were far from chip shots, coming from 46, 51 and 43 yards out. Santos has made 24 of 29 FG tries and 34 of 34 PATs though 13 games on the season (he missed two games earlier in the campaign due to a thigh injury).

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    Commanders' Jake Moody: Perfect in loss

    Moody converted both his one field-goal attempt and one extra-point attempt in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles.

    Moody converted his 19-yard field goal attempt on the Commanders' first drive, and he was only called upon once more in the game, converting an extra-point attempt in the second quarter after a one-yard touchdown run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The kicker now moves to 6-of-6 on field-goal attempts and 5-of-6 on extra-point attempts through four games as a Commander.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Poor performance in win

    Elliott converted all three extra points he attempted, but he missed both attempted field goals in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders.

    Elliott has now missed at least one field goal in four of his last five games. Saturday's misses were from 42 yards and 51 yards, respectively. The kicker now moves to 17-of-24 on the season for field goals, and 38-of-39 for extra-point tries.

  • Ben Sauls K | NYG

    Giants' Ben Sauls: Elevated for Sunday's start

    The Giants have elevated Sauls from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Sauls is slated to start in Week 16 with New York having waived Younghoe Koo. Sauls, an undrafted rookie out of Pittsburgh, will thus make his NFL debut for the Giants on Sunday, though he's spent time with three organizations to date. Across his five-year collegiate career, Sauls managed a 81.3 percent field-goal conversion rate.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Officially out for Week 16

    Sanders (hip) is officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Sanders wasn't activated from IR on Saturday, making him ineligible to play Sunday. He had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday but isn't yet ready to rejoin the 53-man roster. Riley Patterson has been accurate as Miami's kicker thus far and will get another chance to prove his consistency during Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Bills' Michael Badgley: Elevated for Week 16

    The Bills have elevated Badgley from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Badgley is set to serve as Buffalo's starting kicker for Week 16 due to Matt Prater (quadriceps) being ruled out and Tyler Bass (hip) out for the season. Given that Prater is considered week-to-week, Badgley will have a chance to secure a multi-game role as the Bills' fill-in kicker as long as he's able to demonstrate accuracy versus Cleveland on Sunday.

  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Inks three-year deal with Saints

    Smyth signed a three-year deal with the Saints on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The 24-year-old from Northern Ireland has served as the Saints' placekicker in each of their last three games, converting on four of five field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries. Following his new deal Saturday, Smyth is expected to remain New Orleans' top kicker for the foreseeable future.
