Saints kicker Garrett Hartley converted his only field goal, a 19-yarder, in the win over Carolina. He added four PATs for a 7-point night.

Hartley visits the Rams in Week 15.

Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis missed a field-goal attempt for the third straight game Sunday, in a 34-28 win over the Steelers in Week 14. Sturgis connected on attempts from 30 and 27 yards and added four extra points, but missed a 52-yard attempted near halftime.

Sturgis is now 25 for 33 on field-goal attempts during his rookie season. The Dolphins face the Patriots in Week 15. 

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant, who had multiple field goals in each of his previous three games, saw that streak come to an end Week 14 at Green Bay. In fact, he didn't have a single field goal, missing his only attempt -- a 52-yarder -- in the fourth quarter. He did have three extra points, though.

The three points were the fewest Bryant has scored in a game all season. He'll look to bounce back Week 15 against the Redskins. 

Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein received just one field goal attempt Week 14 against the Cardinals.

The Rams offense had a tough time getting anything going against Arizona, scoring only one touchdown. The only other time the team got close enough the the red zone, Zuerlein hit a 44 yard field goal. He'll look for more action Week 15 against the Saints. 

Jets kicker Nick Folk ended his scoring slump Week 14 vs. Oakland, finishing with 13 points during a 37-27 win. Folk, who made just 2 of 3 field goals and totaled eight points in his previous three games, was a perfect 3 for 3 on field goals Sunday.

Folk kicked off the scoring with a 41-yard field goal on the opening drive. He added a 23-yard field goal in the second quarter, and his third field goal was a 51-yard field goal in the third quarter. Folk added four extra points.

Folk finished with at least 10 points for the fifth time this season. The Jets are back in action Week 15 at Carolina.

Broncos kicker Matt Prater had a big game Week 14 against the Titans.

Prater hit on all three of his field goals, including an NFL-record 64 yarder as time expired in the first half. The kick was dead-on, but barely made it over the crossbar. The Broncos offense was efficient otherwise, giving him six extra point attempts. Prater will take on the Chargers Week 15.

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker settled for three extra points during a 29-26 win Week 14 vs. Minnesota. Tucker didn't even get to attempt a field goal, which is the first time that's happened to Tucker all season.

The three points was his lowest output since totaling two points Week 2 against the Browns. Tucker had averaged 14.5 points in his previous two games.

The Ravens are back in action Week 15 at Detroit.

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh finished with eight points during a 29-26 loss Week 14 at Baltimore. Walsh made two field goals and two extra points. 

Walsh converted a 39-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 40-yard field goal in the third quarter. It was the fifth straight game Walsh made multiple field goals.

The Vikings are back in action Week 15 vs. Philadelphia.

Broncos kicker Matt Prater set a new NFL record, hitting a 64 yard field goal as the first half expired.

After driving down the field with less than a minute left, the Broncos set up Prater for the record-setting play. Prater's kick was down the middle, but barely cleared the ball. Teammates celebrated with Prater on the field before running into the locker room for halftime. The previous record of 63 yards was held by Tom Dempsey, Jason Elam, Sebastian Janikowski and David Akers.

Saints kicker Garrett Hartley was a victim of his team's offensive ineptitude Week 13. He hit one PAT and did not attempt a field goal.

Hartley, who had gone 4 for 4 on field goals over his previous two games, faces the Panthers in Week 14.
