Szmyt went 2-for-3 on field-goal tries while making all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-24 win over Tennessee.

Szmyt converted exactly two field goals for the fifth straight week while Sunday's performance marked his sixth in a row with multiple field-goal makes. The kicker made a 28-yarder as time expired in the first half before hitting the right upright on a 43-yard miss with 14:09 left in the fourth quarter. Szmyt got his redemption later though, nailing a game-winning 32-yard try in the final seconds of the game. The 28-year-old has now gone 14-for-16 on field-goal tries while making 11 of 12 PATs over the first seven contests during the 2026 campaign.

Folk made all three of his field-goal tries while going 2-for-3 on PATs during Sunday's 29-20 win over the 49ers.

Folk was able to match his season high in field-goal makes, converting attempts from 39 and 33 yards in the first half before adding a 31-yarder to put the team up 29-20 with 1:56 left in regulation. The 41-year-old continues to be an effective short-range option for Atlanta, going 11-for-12 on field-goal attempts from less than 50 yards over seven contests this season.

Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted his only PAT in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

Fairbairn finished off each of the Texans' first two scoring drives with field-goal makes from 58 and 57 yards in the first half. The kicker has now converted multiple field goals in four straight contests, and his last miss came all the way back in Week 2 versus Cincinnati. On the year, Fairbairn has gone 15-for-16 on field-goal tries, including 8-for-9 from 50-plus yards, while making all 16 of his extra-point attempts over seven contests so far.

McLaughlin made both of his field-goal tries while going 5-for-5 on PATs during Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.

McLaughlin was able to make multiple field goals for the second straight week and fifth time this season. The kicker converted a chip-shot 22-yard attempt in the second quarter before later adding a 44-yarder in the third quarter. McLaughlin has been far more involved in contests during which quarterback Baker Mayfield has been active, and the kicker will have a chance to make it three games in a row with multiple field-goal makes when the team hosts Atlanta in Week 8.

Reichard went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.

Reichard was unable to remain perfect Sunday, but he did deliver at least three field goals for the fifth straight game. The kicker converted kicks from 28 and 47 yards in the first half before later adding a 52-yard make with 1:39 left in regulation, giving Minnesota a 16-10 lead. Reichard's first miss of the season came in the fourth quarter when Grover Stewart got paw on the kicker's 59-yard try. Reichard is out to a remarkable start to the season, going 18-for-19 on field-goal tries, including seven makes from 50-plus yards, over six contests so far.

Boswell made each of his three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in a 16-10 victory over the Saints on Sunday in Paris.

Boswell opened Sunday's contest with a 28-yard chip shot early in the first quarter before connecting on field goals from 47 and 39 yards in the second and third, respectively. It's the third time this season that he has made at least three field goals, and through seven regular-season games, he is 16-for-20 on field-goal attempts (including 4-for-6 on kicks from 50-plus yards) and 13-for-13 on extra-point tries. The Steelers will return home for a Week 8, AFC North showdown against the Browns on Nov. 1.

Carlson went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during Sundays' 16-10 loss to the Steelers in Paris.

Carlson connected on a 38-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but his 52-yarder in the fourth missed wide right and gave the Steelers the ball back with good field position. He's missed one kick in each of his last five games, and head coach Kellen Moore told reporters after Sunday's contest that "it's fair to evaluate" Carlson's kicking issues to open the season, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. The Saints will be on a bye for Week 8, so the team could bring in another kicker to compete with Carlson before their next game in Week 9 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 8.

The Dolphins elevated Gonzalez from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Gonzalez failed to beat out Riley Patterson for the Dolphins' starting role in preseason but has returned to compete with the struggling kicker. The 31-year-old appears set to start Sunday's divisional bout against the Jets. Gonzalez participated in nine regular-season games for the Falcons in 2025, going 19-for-22 on field-goal attempts and 17-for-18 on PATs.

Borregales made his only field-goal attempt and was successful on all three extra-point tries Thursday in a Week 7 loss to the Bears.

Borregales was limited to extra-point tries until the Patriots' final drive of the game, when the kicker nailed a 47-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining to bring his team to within six points ahead of an unsuccessful onside kick. The second-year pro has been held to just four FG attempts -- all of which he has made -- over his past four contests after going 5-for-7 across New England's first three games of the season. The lower volume is largely due to the Patriots' improvement on offense over that four-game stretch, as Borregales has gone 14-for-15 on point-after attempts during that span.

Santos went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Thursday's 30-24 win over New England.

Santos put the first points on the board with a 43-yard field goal in the first quarter and added a 31-yarder in the second. He had a chance to give Chicago a two-score lead midway through the fourth quarter but clanged a 53-yard attempt off the right upright. However, Santos atoned for that miss in dramatic fashion, knocking in a 58-yard field goal -- the longest make of his career -- with less than two minutes remaining to essentially seal the win for the Bears. He's now 11-for-15 on field-goal tries this season, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards.
