Gano made two of his three field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries during Sunday's 44-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Gano pushed a 54-yard attempt wide right on the Giants' opening drive of Week 5, but he was able to bounce back and make his next four kicks -- including two 51-yarders. The 34-year-old opened the scoring for New York with his first make at the beginning of the second quarter, and then he cut Dallas' lead to 17-13 with his second make to open the second half. Gano has been a consistent producer this season, but the Giants' offense may struggle to move the ball if they are without Daniel Jones (concussion) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) for an extended period.

Zuerlein connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all five of his PATs in Sunday's win over the Giants.

His longest FG came from only 38 yards out, but the veteran kicker still had his most productive game of the year so far in a 44-20 victory. Zuerlein has booted multiple field goals in three of five games so far in 2021 and multiple extra points in all five, and he should continue seeing plenty of opportunities alongside the high-flying Cowboys offense heading into a Week 6 clash with the Patriots.

Folk made all four of his field-goal attempts and one of his two extra point tries in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans, en route to recording 13 points.

Through five games, Folk has logged 48 points and has hit double digits three times in that span. The veteran kicker has been managing a left knee issue of late, but it hasn't impacted his game availability, and he'll be out there this coming Sunday against the Cowboys, barring any setbacks.

McPherson connected on two extra points but missed both of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Packers.

McPherson hit the upright on a 57-yard field goal with 26 seconds left in the fourth quarter that would've put the Bengals up 25-22. After the Packers Mason Crosby missed back-to-back game-winning kicks, the rookie was summoned once again and pulled a 49-yard attempt wide left. McPherson was off to a hot start in his first season in the NFL, but Sunday's performance should temper expectations for the 22-year-old. McPherson will have a chance to bounce back against the Lions in Week 6.

Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Broncos.

Boswell made a 48-yard field goal early in the second quarter before extending the Steelers' lead with a 43-yarder with just over two minutes left in the game. Since missing a field goal in Week 3, the 30-year-old has made three field-goal attempts while converting five extra-point tries across the last two games.

Fairbairn converted one of two field-goal attempts and one of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Fairbairn's typically a better kicker than he showed Sunday, so the temptation is to write this off as a bad week. The missed field goal was an excusable 56-yard try, but the two missed extra points and a kickoff that went out of bounds were problematic. It should be noted that these were his first attempts since returning from a leg injury in Week 4. Other than a kickoff, he did not make the field during last week's 40-0 loss to Buffalo.

Gonzalez made all three of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Eagles.

Gonzalez converted from 48, 43 and 50 yards on his field goals, turning in what was easily his best performance as a Panther. With 28 points through four appearances this season, Gonzalez will hope his kicking momentum carries into a Week 6 matchup versus the Vikings.

McLaughlin went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point kicks in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chargers.

McLaughlin was perfect again and has converted all 22 kicks -- nine field goals and 13 extra-points -- through five weeks. This was McLaughlin's second double-digit effort in the last three weeks. A third-year journeyman that's kicked for six teams since entering the NFL in 2019, McLaughlin has earned permanency for the first time.

Santos converted a pair of field goals as well as a pair of extra points in the Bears' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Santos has scored between six and eight points in each of the Bears' last four games, and although he's yet to show a high-scoring ceiling, he's had a reliable floor over the past month.

Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Titans and will handle kicking duties.

Wright was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game and will operate as Jacksonville's kicker with Josh Lambo (coach's decision) inactive. Wright made his team debut last week and made all three of his PAT attempts.
