  • Jake Bates K | DET

    Lions' Jake Bates: Strong performance in Week 3

    Bates went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all five of his extra-point tries in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens.

    Bates missed a 67-yard field goal wide left as time expired in the first half, which would've been a new NFL record. The kicker rebounded in the second half, making a much more manageable 45-yarder in the fourth quarter. Bates has now gone 4-for-6 on field-goal tries, with both misses coming from 50-plus yards, over three games this year.

  • Tyler Loop K | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Loop: Makes lone field-goal try in Week 3

    Loop made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries in a loss to Detroit on Monday.

    Loop's field goal was a 41-yarder that brought Baltimore to within four points early in the fourth quarter. The rookie kicker knocked through two field goals in each of his first two NFL games, making him a perfect 5-for-5 through three games on the campaign. The prolific Ravens offense may prevent him from racking up field-goal attempts, but he's still scored plenty of points by going 12-for-13 on extra-point tries so far.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Perfect again in Week 3

    Aubrey converted both his field-goal attempts but didn't get an extra-point try in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

    The star kicker drilled FGs of 53 and 33 yards in the first half, but his scoring opportunities dried up as the game got away from the Cowboys. Aubrey has yet to miss a kick in 2025, banging home six PATs and eight FGs through three games, but his chances could be limited again in Week 4 as Dallas takes on a Green Bay team allowing a league-low 14.7 points per game, and with the Cowboys potentially not having the services of CeeDee Lamb (ankle).

  • Graham Gano K | NYG

    Giants' Graham Gano: Makes lone FGA

    Gano (groin) made his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Gano was sidelined with a groin injury for the majority of the team's contest on Sunday, but he was able to tough it out for one kick in the fourth quarter. The kicker connected on a 25-yard field goal, narrowing the deficit to 16-9 with 10:12 left in the game. It's unclear what Gano's status moving forward is, but through three weeks, the kicker has gone 6-for-6 on field-goal tries and 4-for-4 on PATs.

  • Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Inconsistency continues in Week 3

    Butker went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Butker was once again a little off his game in Week 3, missing a 40-yard field goal wide right in the second quarter. Additionally, he pushed an extra-point attempt wide left in the fourth quarter. Outside of the misses, Butker made field goals from 54, 48 and 24 yards, as well as an additional PAT in the contest. On the year, the kicker has gone 7-for-9 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while also making three of five extra-point tries over three games.

  • Blake Grupe K | IND

    Saints' Blake Grupe: Makes two FGAs in Week 3

    Grupe went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made one PAT in Sunday's 44-13 loss to Seattle.

    Grupe made field goals from 27 and 23 yards in the second quarter, but he also missed a 52-yard try with 2:53 left in the first half. The kicker is off to a slow start this season, going 4-for-7 on field-goal tries, missing at least one kick in each of the team's first three contests.

  • Andre Szmyt K | CLE

    Browns' Andre Szmyt: Boots game-winning kick

    Szmyt converted both of his field-goal attempts and lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers.

    There were a few heroes on defense and special teams, but Szmyt gets the headliner. His 55-yard field goal with no time left on the clock won the game for the Browns. It was the second straight week of redemption for the kicker, who missed two kicks in the season-opening, one-point loss to the Bengals.

  • Patriots' Andres Borregales: No FGAs in Loss

    Borregales did not attempt a field goal and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers.

    Borregales wasn't particularly busy in Week 3 as the Patriots squandered many scoring opportunities, turning the ball over five times in the loss. The kicker will look to be more active in the team's matchup with the Panthers in Week 4 . Through three games in his rookie campaign, Borregales has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-6 on PATs.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Titans' Joey Slye: Struggles in Week 3

    Slye went 2-for-4 on field-goal tries and made both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.

    Slye had a mixed bag of a day, connecting on his first two field-goal attempts of the day from 57 and 42 yards. He would then miss his next attempt from 64 yards and then have a 62-yard try blocked before the end of the second quarter. Considering the distance of the two misses, the kicker shouldn't hang his head. Slye has now gone 10-for-12 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making all three of his PATs this season.

  • Bengals' Evan McPherson: Makes both kicks in Week 3

    McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and a PAT in Sunday's 48-10 loss to the Vikings.

    McPherson connected on a 45-yard field goal in the second quarter, which would prove to be his only field-goal attempt in the contest. The kicker has now gone 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and 7-for-7 on PATs over three games this season.
