  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Breaks franchise record in loss

    McLaughlin connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Coming off a strong performance in the Bucs' Week 3 win over the Jets (5-for-6 on field-goal tries), McLaughlin broke a franchise record by connecting on a 65-yard field goal in the dying seconds of the second half to cut Tampa Bay's deficit to 18 points. That field goal was one yard shy from matching Justin Tucker's record of 66 yards against the Lions in 2021. McLaughlin has strung together two strong performances in consecutive weeks, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Seattle for the Bucs' Week 5 clash against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 5.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Misses another kick Sunday

    Butker made three of four field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Ravens.

    In fairness to the Chiefs' longtime kicker, his miss Sunday was from 56 yards. At the same time, he's now missed a kick in every game this season and is just 10-for-13 on field goals and seven of nine on extra-point tries in 2025. Butker will try to get back on track next Monday night against the Jaguars.

    Commanders' Matt Gay: Connects on all four field goals

    Gay went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Commanders' 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

    Gay helped the Commanders keep pace with the Falcons when the offense stalled outside of the red zone, connecting on field goals from 43, 52, 41 and 42 yards in Sunday's loss. It was the fifth time in Gay's career that he made at least five field goals, and it was a nice bounce-back performance after he went 3-for-6 across Washington's prior two games.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Busy in Week 4

    Santos went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Raiders.

    Santos made field goals from 46, 43 and 52 yards in the first half, accounting for all the offense for Chicago as the team went into the break down 14-9. The kicker picked up where he left off in the second half, connecting on a 51-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Santos has now gone 6-for-7 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-3 on attempts from 50-plus yards, while making all 11 of his PATs through four games this year.

  • Joshua Karty K | ARI

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Perfect in Week 4 win

    Karty made both of his field-goal tries and connected on all three of his extra-point attempts during the Rams' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Karty helped the Rams keep pace with the Colts by connecting on field goals from 42 and 37 yards in the first and second quarter, respectively. Karty has started the season 10-for-11 on extra-point tries and 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts. Both of his misses on field-goal attempts came on blocks during the Rams' Week 3 loss to the Eagles. Karty and the Rams will stay in Los Angeles and welcome in the 49ers on Thursday in an NFC West clash.

  • Colts' Spencer Shrader: Makes every kick Sunday

    Shrader hit both of his field goals and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Rams.

    The kicker drilled a 52-yarder in the first quarter and a 38-yarder in the fourth. Shrader has now made 13 of 14 field goals and all 12 extra-point tries in 2025. The Colts host the struggling Raiders next Sunday, which should give Shrader plenty of scoring opportunities.

  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Makes all six kicks vs. Cleveland

    Bates made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during the Lions' 34-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Bates helped the Lions maintain their lead by connecting on field goals from 48 and 58 yards in the second quarter, the later of which was his first successful make from 50-plus yards of the season. He has started the regular season 6-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 17-for-17 on extra-point tries through four games.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Makes all three kicks in Dublin

    Reichard made both of his field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt during the Vikings' 24-21 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    Coming off his Week 3 outing against the Bengals in which he nailed a franchise-record 62-yard field-goal try, Reichard had no trouble converting on his field-goal attempts from 41 and 28 yards in the first half. Reichard has started the season 8-for-8 on both his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries through the first four games of the regular season. The Vikings will stay across the pond for Week 5, where they'll take on the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 5 in London, England.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Converts four of five kicks Week 4

    Boswell went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 24-21 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Boswell lined up for a 30-yard chip shot to put Pittsburgh up by 11 points late in the second quarter, only for Isaiah Rodgers to break through the Steelers' line to block the kick, which resulted in a Vikings' field goal nine plays later. It was the first missed field goal of the season for Boswell, and through four regular-season games he's gone 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and 10-for-10 on extra-point attempts. The Steelers are on a bye for Week 5, so Boswell will make his next appearance in Week 6 against the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 12.

  • Giants' Jude McAtamney: Wins kicking competition

    McAtamney was elevated from the Giants' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    The Rutgers product competed with Younghoe Koo throughout the week for the Giants' top kicker spot, as Graham Gano (groin) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Following Saturday's elevation, McAtamney appears set to handle New York's kicking duties in a Week 4 matchup against the Chargers. A solid performance Sunday could cement his role as the Giants' top kicker until Gano returns.
