Slye connected on both extra-point tries but missed his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.
The kicker booted the ball wide right on a 58-yard attempt late in the first half. Slye is now just 15-of-20 on field-goal tries in 2025, and all of the misses have been from 40 yards or longer. The veteran has also attempted just eight extra points in seven games due to his struggling offense.

Grupe went 1-for-1 on field-goal tries in Sunday's 23-3 loss to the Bucs.
The kicker connected from 48 yards out late in the first half, his only opportunity of the game. Grupe has missed five times this season from 40 yards or longer, though he is 10-of-11 from inside 40 and 11-of-11 on extra-point tries.

Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Quiet performance in Week 8
Aubrey made his only field-goal attempt and went 3-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.
Aubrey connected on a 24-yard field goal to cap off the Cowboys' first possession of the game, which would prove to be his only field-goal try in the contest.

Mike Badgley K | BUF
Colts' Michael Badgley: Doesn't miss Sunday
Badgley went a perfect 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
The kicker hit a 43-yarder in the first quarter and then just rode his high-scoring offense to five more points throughout the rest of the game. Since replacing Spencer Shrader, who is out for the season with a knee injury, Badgley has made at least three extra points in all three games he's played in, and he has only missed once, going 12-of-13 on extra points and 3-for-3 on field goals. The kicker job on one of the league's best offenses should be his for the foreseeable future.

Broncos' Wil Lutz: Nails six kicks vs. Dallas
Lutz made his lone field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries during the Broncos' 44-24 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
Most of Lutz's points came on PATs, as the Broncos' offense ran into little resistance against the Cowboys' defense, though he did connect on a 42-yard field goal in the third quarter. Lutz has not missed a kick in six straight games and has gone 10-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-21 on point-after tries through eight regular-season games.

McLaughlin made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 23-3 win over the Saints on Sunday.
The Buccaneers' offense failed to generate points until the first possession of the second half. All three of McLaughlin's field goals came in the second half and from 50-plus yards. He is now a perfect 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards and is 17-for-21 on all field-goal tries and 16-for-17 on PATs through eight regular-season games.

Lucas Havrisik K | GB
Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Healthy scratch with McManus back
Havrisik (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Pittsburgh, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Green Bay's regular placekicker Brandon McManus is back in action after missing the last two games due to a right quadriceps injury. Havrisik thus will be in street clothes after not missing a kick (4-for-4 on FGAs, 6-for-6 on PATs) in his stint with Green Bay.

Brandon McManus K | GB
Packers' Brandon McManus: Retaining placekicking duties
McManus (right quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
McManus thus is putting an end to a two-game absence due to the right quad that he tweaked during Week 6 prep. He's slated to handle his usual placekicking duties Week 8 while his fill-in Lucas Havrisik is a healthy scratch. In four appearances this season, McManus has connected on seven of nine field-goal attempts and 11 of 12 point-after tries.

John Parker Romo K | ATL
Falcons' Parker Romo: Nails both kicks vs. Miami
Romo made his lone field-goal attempt and connected on his only extra-point try during the Falcons' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Romo put the Falcons on the board with a 45-yard field goal early in the second quarter and added a PAT in the fourth frame, but he was otherwise idle as Atlanta struggled to move the ball down the field with Kirk Cousins under center for the injured Michael Penix (knee). Romo is now 10-for-13 on field-goal attempts and has made all 10 of his extra-point tries through six regular-season games.

49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Quiet day in Week 8 loss
Pineiro made his lone extra-point try during the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Pineiro was idle for most of Sunday's game, with his only kick attempt coming in the second quarter after a 17-yard touchdown pass from Mac Jones to George Kittle. Week 8 marked the first time this season that Pineiro did not attempt a field goal. He is 17-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 10-for-11 on extra-point tries through seven regular-season games.
