  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Prolific afternoon in win

    McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 22, 37, 42 and 43 yards and knocked home all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    The veteran kicker racked up 16 total points in the surprisingly comfortable victory, kicking a pair of field goals apiece in the first and second halves. The four made field goals tied a season high for McLaughlin, who'd just set that mark Week 13 against the Panthers. McLaughlin is up to a 92.6 percent success rate on field goals and 95.5 percent on PATs heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys that should also afford him plenty of scoring opportunities.

  • Nick Folk K | TEN

    Titans' Nick Folk: Limited to PATs

    Folk made all three of his extra-point attempts and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.

    The only Titans scores came on four trips to the end zone, with the final coming as time expired. That limited Folk to only three extra-point attempts, ending his four-game streak of making multiple field goals. Positively, he has yet to miss an extra-point attempt on the campaign.

  • Greg Joseph K | WAS

    Greg Joseph: Back to practice squad

    Joseph reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.

    Joseph handled the kicking duties for the Commanders in Sunday's win against the Saints due to Zane Gonzalez (foot) and Austin Seibert (groin) being sidelined. He made two of three field-goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries in the wi. Joseph could be Washington's kicker against Philadelphia in Week 16 if Gonzalez is unable to make enough progress in his recovery to play.

  • Cade York K | CIN

    Bengals' Cade York: Reverts to practice squad

    York reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday.

    York made his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-5 on extra-point tries while filling in for Evan McPherson (groin), who is on injured reserve. York will likely continue to serve as the team's kicker in Week 16, as McPherson will remain sidelined for at least two more weeks.

  • Riley Patterson: Returns to practice squad

    Patterson reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday.

    Patterson served as the Browns' kicker in Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs due to the recent struggles of Dustin Hopkins. He made his lone extra-point try, but the expectation is that Hopkins will kick for Cleveland in Week 16 against the Bengals, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills three kicks

    Myers connected on two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers.

    Myers hit kicks from 45 and 48 yards, meaning he has now hit 13 of 16 kicks from beyond 40 yards (81.3 percent) and all nine tries from within 40 yards. He could struggle to get on the board in Week 16 against the Vikings, who have the league's fourth-ranked scoring defense.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes all five kicks

    Elliott converted both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers.

    Elliott was good from 34 yards in the first quarter and good from 41 yards in the third. He's missed just one of his 21 attempts from inside 50 yards and just one of his 38 extra-point tries, but he's yet to convert a field goal from 50 yards or more this year.

  • Tanner Brown K | ATL

    Tanner Brown: Links up with Atlanta

    Brown signed with the Falcons' practice squad Monday.

    Brown spent time with the Rams in training camp and on their practice squad but has yet to make his NFL debut. He'll be an organizational depth option for the Falcons for now and would be called into action should an injury befall Younghoe Koo.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Busy in Week 15 win

    Aubrey connected on three of four field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

    His one miss was a ridiculous 70-yard attempt at the end of the first half, so no one's likely to hold it against him. Aubrey has seen plenty of volume of late even with Cooper Rush under center for the Cowboys instead of Dak Prescott (hamstring), seeing multiple FG attempts for the seventh straight game and multiple PATs for the fourth straight. He's likely to stay busy in Week 16 against a Buccaneers team that ranks near the bottom of the league in total FG attempts allowed.

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: No field-goal tries Week 15

    Gano made both of his extra-point attempts and didn't try a field goal against the Ravens in a 35-14 Week 15 loss.

    Gano converted when called upon, but that included only a pair of point-after attempts. The veteran kicker hasn't had more than two field-goal tries in any of his seven contests this season and has struggled to compile scoring for a Giants offense that ranks last in the league in putting up just 14.9 points per game. Though New York's Week 16 opponent -- Atlanta -- isn't among the NFL's top defenses, the overall state of the Giants' offense doesn't provide confidence that Gano will get many more opportunities next Sunday.
