  • Browns' Dustin Hopkins: Perfect in win

    Hopkins converted all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 29-24 win over Baltimore in Week 8.

    Hopkins connected from 28, 33 and 48 yards and had a season-high 11 points. The kicking game, like the entire offense, benefitted from Jameis Winston starting at quarterback in place of the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles). Winston sparked what had been a dormant offense and could lead to more kicker scoring. Hopkins has been shaky the last few weeks and already has the same number of missed kicks this season than he had over 17 games in 2023.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Held to one point

    Santos did not attempt a field goal in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    After connecting on five field goals over the first two games of the season, Santos has made three field goals over the Bears' last five games. Even though the potential for a big game can occur at any time, Santos' low-scoring floor makes him difficult to trust as a top-12 kicking option.

  • Blake Grupe K | NO

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Misses FG attempt Week 8

    Grupe went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-8 loss against the Chargers.

    Grupe missed a field goal for the first time this season, pushing a 44-yard attempt wide right during the fourth quarter. The second-year kicker still made field-goal tries of 40 and 43 yards, and he's now gone 13-for-14 on FGAs while making all but two of his 20 PATs through eight games. Grupe will look to make all of his tries during next week's game at Carolina on Sunday, Nov. 3.

  • Tyler Bass K | BUF

    Bills' Tyler Bass: One field goal in win

    Bass made his only field-goal attempt while going 4-for-4 on PATs in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.

    Bass nailed his only field goal from 27 yards out in the third quarter. The kicker has yet to have more than two field goals in any game this season, and he's now gone 12-for-15 on field-goal tries through eight games.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Perfect Sunday

    Butker made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders.

    The kicker's field-goal attempts came from 42 and 24 yards, respectively. Butker's perfect day brought him to 14-of-16 on field-goal tries and 17-of-18 on extra-point attempts in 2024.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Makes four field goals in win

    Seibert made four of five field-goal attempts in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears.

    Seibert was a busy man again in Week 8, making four field goals for the second week in a row. His only miss came in the fourth quarter, which was a 51-yard attempt. Through seven games in 2024, Seibert has gone 23-for-25 on field-goal tries while making all 19 PATs he's attempted.

  • Eddy Pineiro K | CAR

    Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Converts again in Week 8

    Pineiro made each of his point-after attempts in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.

    It was an uneventful game for Pineiro for the second consecutive week, as he hasn't attempted a field goal since Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Falcons. The 29-year-old is expected to continue being a reliable option in Carolina, however, he likely will continue to see few scoring opportunities when the Panthers host the Saints in Week 9.

  • Joey Slye K | NE

    Patriots' Joey Slye: Quiet day in Week 8 win

    Slye made his only field-goal attempt and converted on both extra-point tries in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.

    Slye was successful on a 23-yard chip shot in the fourth quarter, which gave the Patriots a one-point lead with 7:36 left to play in the game. Slye is now 11-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra-point tries through the first seven games of the regular season.

  • Matt Gay K | IND

    Colts' Matt Gay: Perfect in Week 8

    Gay went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Gay was once again perfect in Week 8, nailing a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 37-yarder in the third. Through seven games in 2024, the kicker has gone 12-for-13 on field goals and a perfect 16-for-16 on PATs.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Misses 54-yard field-goal attempt

    McPherson made one of two field-goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Eagles.

    McPherson made a 27-yard chip shot early in the second quarter, but his 54-yard field-goal attempt later in the frame missed wide left. It was his fourth miss on a field-goal attempt this season, and three of the other misses have come over the Bengals' last four regular-season games. McPherson will look to get back on track against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 3.
