Vikings kicker Blair Walsh converted his only field-goal try, a 36-yarder, in the loss to Green Bay. He's 10 of 12 this season.

Walsh added four PATs for a seven-point night. He visits the Cowboys in Week 9.

Jets placekicker Nick Folk was the offense Sunday in Cincinnati. He nailed all three of his field goal attempts, including a 50-yarder in the third quarter. He added a 45-yard boot and 47-yarder in the second quarter.

Folk has been perfect in 19 attempts this season.

Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis has hit a rough patch, as he missed two field-goal attempts Sunday, in a 27-17 Week 8 loss. Sturgis connected from 52 yards, but missed one attempt and had another blocked.

Sturgis added two successful extra-point attempts. Stafford is now 11 of 15 on field-goal tries this season, but has missed four of his last eight attempts.

Falcons kicker Matt Bryant hit both his field goal attempts Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Bryant hit from 24 and 30 yards in the first two quarters. He also hit the team's only extra point attempt late in the fourth quarter. Bryant will look to pick things up Week 9 against the Panthers. 

Broncos kicker Matt Prater wasn't asked to do much as he kicked one field goal during Sunday's win over the Redskins in Week 8.

Prater connected on a 19-yard attempt in the fourth quarter. He went 1 for 1 in field goal attempts and added four extra points in a 45-21 victory. He is 12 of 12 in field goal attempts this season.

Saints kicker Garrett Hartley finished with a season-low five points -- all on extra points -- Week 8 against the Bills, but it wasn't for a lack of opportunity. He attempted two field goals -- a 47-yarder in the first quarter and a 38-yarder in the second -- but missed them both.

Hartley had made 14 of 16 field goals coming into the game. Kicking for the prolific Saints offense, he's still averaging 9.1 points per game.

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, who was probable with a hamstring injury, is active for the game against the Packers. Walsh missed a 53-yard field goal at the Giants last week after converting the first 12 tries from 50-plus in his career.

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh (hamstring) is probable yet again for Week 8 against the Packers, as he continues to move on from his injury. 

Panthers kicker Graham Gano didn't get a ton of chances in Week 8 against the Buccaneers, as the offense was humming in a 31-13 win Thursday. Gano made his lone field-goal attempt, from 29 yards out, and added four successful extra-point attempts.

Gano has yet to miss a field goal this season, as he is perfect on 10 attempts. He has also successfully converted 20 extra-point attempts. 

Vikings kicker Blair Walsh entered Week 7 having hit all 12 of his career field-goal tries from at least 50 yards. He came up short on a 53-yarder against the Giants.

Walsh has a tender hamstring in his plant leg, which probably contributed to the miss. It was his only field-goal try of the game. Walsh, who hit his only PAT, plays the Packers in Week 8.
