Brandon McManus K | GB
Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Misses twice in loss
McManus made one of three field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Texans.
The 32-year-old converted a field goal from 33 yards but missed wide right from 48 and had a 51-yard attempt blocked, as the Jaguars struggled in all three facets Sunday. McManus is now 5-for-7 on field goals and 6-for-6 on extra-point attempts through the first three games of the season.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Massive day
Myers hit all five of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers.
After making just three of six field goals to start the season, Myers was automatic in Week 3 with a total of 17 points. All five of Myers' field goals came from between 33 and 43 yards. He'll aim to ride that momentum into a road matchup versus the Giants in Week 4 before the team's Week 5 bye.

Chad Ryland K | ARI
Patriots' Chad Ryland: Makes two of four FG tries Sunday
Ryland made two of his four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.
Ryland, who notched seven points in the contest, made field goals from 48 and 51 yards Sunday, with his misses coming from 48 and 57 yards. Per Zack Cox of NESN, windy and rainy conditions didn't help the rookie kicker's cause, with coach Bill Belichick giving Ryland a vote of confidence following the contest. "We need to have a cleaner operation," Belichick said of the team's Week 3 kicking game. "But I thought (Ryland) showed mental toughness coming back and making that kick in the third quarter after the one at the half that just wasn't a great operation. He did a good job for us."

Chris Boswell K | PIT
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Perfect again Sunday
Boswell made all three of his field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 23-18 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Following a regular-season opener in which the Steelers fell behind early, Boswell has seen his workload increase over the next two weeks. He had a season-high three field-goal attempts during Sunday's primetime win and was perfect once again, including a season-long make from 57 yards. Boswell has converted all five of his field-goal attempts while making all five of his extra-point tries over the first three weeks of the 2023 campaign.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes 26-yard field goal
Carlson converted both his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.
Carlson might've left Sunday's tilt without attempting a single field goal if it weren't for Raiders coach Josh McDaniels electing to make it a five-point game with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Carlson has yet to miss a kick this season, but he's registered only 13 total points through the first three weeks.

Younghoe Koo K | NYG
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Misses 47-yard attempt
Koo made two of three field-goal attempts and didn't attempt a point-after try during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions.
Koo has missed a kick in back-to-back games. He missed a point-after try in Week 2 versus Green Bay and pulled a 47-yard field-goal attempt wide left during Sunday's double-digit loss. Since becoming a full-time starter in 2020, Koo has missed just 16 kicks. However, nine of those have come over his last 20 appearances. It's not time to hit the panic button just yet, as Koo has been resilient after wayward stretches in his career.

Greg Joseph K | LV
Vikings' Greg Joseph: Sees limited attempts again
Jospeh made his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Chargers.
Joseph was good from 23 yards out in the second quarter, in what was just his second FGA of the season through three games. He's now 2-for-2 on field goals and 9-for-9 on PATs this season. He'll have the potential for more opportunities in Week 4 against Carolina.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Lions' Riley Patterson: Attempts multiple field goals
Patterson converted both field-goal attempts and both of his PATs during Sunday's 20-6 win over Atlanta.
A drop in red-zone efficiency was inevitable for a Lions offense that racked up seven touchdowns over the first two weeks. This benefited Patterson's investors after the kicker received just one attempt in those previous contests, though his production was still a couple of steps below what some other kickers around the league have been putting up. Next for Patterson is a road trip to Lambeau Field on a short week to play a Packers defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest points thus far into the season.

Cameron Dicker K | LAC
Chargers' Cameron Dicker: No good on long field goal
Dicker missed his lone field-goal attempt from 53 yards out, but he did connect on all four of his extra-point attempts in the 28-24 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Dicker isn't known for his strong leg, so the missed field goal isn't entirely surprising. The second-year kicker is just 1-of-3 on attempts from 50-plus yards in his career, including the playoffs; however, he's missed just one other field goal out of his 26 tries to date. Dicker figures to be in a good spot to add to that total in a matchup against the vulnerable Raiders defense this week.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Continues perfect streak
Lutz went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries while making both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 70-20 loss to the Dolphins.
Lutz was perfect on kicks for the second straight week, albeit in a blowout loss to the Dolphins. The veteran connected on field goals from 25 and 31 yards out in the contest. Lutz will look to improve upon Sunday's performance when the Broncos visit the Bears in Week 4, as Chicago is giving up an average of 35 points per game this season.
