    Patriots' Nick Folk: Makes five field goals Sunday

    Folk made all five of his field-goal attempts en route to recording 16 points in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.

    The five field-goal attempts he saw in Week 8 tied a season high for the veteran kicker, who upped his season points total to 63 in the process. Next up for Folk and the Patriots is a Week 9 home matchup against the 3-4-1 Colts.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Flawless in narrow win

    Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Lions.

    Sanders did all that was asked of him in Sunday's narrow win, a game that saw the Dolphins trailing by a two-score deficit and went into catch-up mode early. Miami's offense will take on a Bears defense Week 9 which just allowed 49 points to the Cowboys, so Sanders could be see ample scoring opportunities.

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect in win

    Koo connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-34 overtime victory over Carolina.

    Koo gave the Falcons a 24-21 lead with a 30-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and extended Atlanta's lead to 34-28 with a 34-yard try with 36 seconds left in regulation. After a heroic late touchdown grab by the Panthers' DJ Moore, the game went into overtime, and Koo eventually nailed a game-winning 41-yarder after Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro missed a 32-yard attempt on the previous drive. Koo has yet to miss an extra point this season, and two of his three field-goal misses have come from beyond 50 yards. The fifth-year pro continues to be one of the more reliable kickers in the league and has benefitted from Atlanta's surprisingly efficient offense in 2022.

  • Matt Gay K | SF

    Rams' Matt Gay: No field-goal attempts in loss

    Gay did not attempt a field goal Sunday while going 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in the Rams' 31-14 loss to the 49ers.

    Gay failed to produce at least one field goal for the first time this season, but he remained perfect on extra-point attempts, raising his season total to 13-for-13 over seven contests. The kicker remains one of the more accurate options in the league, going 9-for-10 on field goals in addition to his success on extra points. Gay could be more involved in Week 9 against the Buccaneers as both teams will look to rebound off disappointing losses.

  • Wil Lutz K | DEN

    Saints' Wil Lutz: Busy in blowout win

    Lutz made one of two field-goal attempts while converting all three of his extra-point tries during the Saints' 24-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Lutz made a 37-yard field-goal attempt early in the second quarter Sunday but missed a 38-yard attempt wide right in the closing seconds of the first half. The missed field-goal try didn't have a significant impact in the blowout win, and it was his first missed field-goal attempt since Week 4. Over the last four games, Lutz has converted eight of nine field-goal attempts while making all 13 of his extra-point tries.

  • Colts' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect in loss

    McLaughlin converted all three of his field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during the Colts' 17-16 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    The Colts relied heavily on field goals for their scoring production Sunday, and McLaughlin was perfect for a fourth consecutive week. Over the last four matchups, he's made all 10 of his field-goal attempts while converting all four of his extra-point tries.

  • Greg Joseph K | LV

    Vikings' Greg Joseph: Misses two kicks against Arizona

    Joseph missed his lone field-goal attempt while making four of five extra-point tries during the Vikings' 34-26 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Although the Vikings have had a strong start to the season, Joseph has been inconsistent in recent weeks, as he's missed at least one kick in each of the last five games. His missed field-goal attempt Sunday was a 56-yard attempt that was blocked just before halftime, but he also missed an extra-point try in the fourth quarter that would have put Minnesota up by two possessions. Over the last five games, Joseph has converted six of 11 field-goal attempts while making 13 of 16 extra-point tries.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Nails both kicks

    Fairbairn converted his lone field-goal attempt and extra-point kick in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans in Week 8.

    Fairbairn's 43-yard field goal gave Houston a 3-0 lead early in the second quarter, but it was an example of the team's offensive frustration. The drive began at the Tennessee 11-yard line after a Steven Nelson interception. Two incompletions and a 13-yard loss on a sack later, the Texans settled for a less-than chip shot from its kicker. Houston spent time on the Tennessee side of the field on four drives -- two of which started there -- but could not generate much for Fairbairn. He has successfully booted 13 of 15 field-goal attempts over seven games.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Converts both field-goal tries

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's Week 8 loss to Seattle.

    Gano converted a 31-yard field goal in the third quarter to tie the game 10-10, and he knotted the score again with a 45-yarder early in the fourth. The latter was his last attempt of the day, however, and the Seahawks went on to score two additional touchdowns to pull out the victory. Gano remains perfect on extra-point tries this season while going 19-for-21 on field-goal attempts.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Posts five points

    Santos converted his only field-goal attempt in the Bears' 49-29 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Santos now has four games with five points or fewer and three games with at least 10 points, making him a volatile fantasy option, though he has shown excellent upside.
