But Ficken missed the entire field goal net, so I’m not feeling particularly confident in him. I’m putting these guys below Lambo, Elliott, and Boswell only because they have missed kicks this season, but they have exceptional résumés. Logan Cooke wasn't voted the Jaguars' team MVP in 2019, but he probably should have been, and that's because he spent his entire season digging Jacksonville out of trouble. Randy Bullock had a horrible miss in Week 1, but that was definitely not a sign of things to come. Or potential cause for concern? Butker closed the season by hitting 17 straight field goals, including the playoffs.

The Browns Have a Baker Mayfield Problem, and It’s Not Getting Any Better, In Cleveland’s loss to the Steelers on Sunday, the third-year QB showed exactly why there’s still such a big chasm between the Browns and the contenders in the AFC North, breaking the league’s all-time scoring records, something nobody has done full time since 1981, really seemed to enjoy kicking a game-winner against the Chargers, who originally tried to break into the world of finance.

Since entering the NFL in 2014, Way has slowly turned into one of the best punters in the league, especially over the past two years.
