Sanders made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries during the Jets' 17-12 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Both teams battled wind and rain during Sunday's contest at MetLife Stadium, but Sanders managed to extend the Jets' lead to 10-6 early in the fourth quarter on a 54-yard field goal. The veteran kicker has attempted just one field goal in three of the last four games and is 8-for-9 on field-goal tries through five regular-season games, with his lone miss coming from 50-plus yards. The Jets will hit the road for a Week 6 AFC East showdown against the Patriots on Oct. 18.

Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts but missed his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Szmyt paced the Browns' scoring in the first half with made field goals from 25 and 41 yards in the first and second quarter, respectively. He missed his first PAT of the season in the fourth quarter in what would have extended Cleveland's lead to 13-10, but both teams battled the elements during Sunday's contest at MetLife Stadium. Szmyt has made all 10 of his field-goal attempts and has gone 7-for-8 on extra-point tries through the first five games of the regular season, with two of his made field goals coming from 50-plus yards. The Browns will head back home for a Week 6 AFC North tilt against the Ravens on Oct. 18.

Smack went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-3 on extra-point tries during the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Smack missed field goals from 43 and 47 yards in the fourth quarter, which came after his extra-point try early in the third missed wide left. It was by far the worst performance of the rookie's young NFL career, but luckily for him, the Packers dominated enough offensively and defensively that his kicking miscues were a wash. Smack will have a prime opportunity to bounce back in Week 6 on Oct. 18 against the Cowboys, who give up the seventh-most points in the NFL this season (27.2).

Santos missed his lone field-goal attempt and converted on his only PAT during the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

The Bears' offense struggled during Sunday's loss, which saw Tyson Bagent benched for Case Keenum after the former threw an interception late in the third quarter. Santos missed on his only field-goal attempt of the day, which was from 43 yards midway through the third quarter that would have reduced Chicago's deficit to 20-10. It was the first time through five games this season that Santos did not make a field goal, and the Bears' offensive production figures to have a limited ceiling for as long as Caleb Williams (hamstring) is sidelined. The Bears will stay on the road for Week 6 against the Falcons on Oct. 18.

Borregales made his lone field-goal attempt and all six extra-point tries during Sunday's 45-17 win over Las Vegas.

Drake Maye and the Patriots offense dominated Sunday's game, so Borregales was mostly limited to extra-point duties outside of a 28-yard chip-shot field goal early in the fourth quarter that gave the Patriots a 38-10 lead. Despite the lack of field-goal attempts over his last two games, Borregales' scoring floor figures to be elevated now that New England's offense has seemingly figured things out. The Patriots will stay at home and host the Jets for Week 6 on Oct. 18.

Gay went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries during the Raiders' 45-17 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Gay entered Sunday's game having made all 10 of his previous field-goal tries, but his first attempt from late in the second quarter from 48 yards hit the left upright, and the Patriots' offense capitalized on the good field possession with a five-play touchdown drive. Gay connected on a 46-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, and the veteran kicker is now 11-for-12 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra-point tries through the first five games of the regular season. Up next for the Raiders is a Week 6 home tilt Oct. 18 against the Bills, whose defense gives up the eighth-most points per game in the NFL (26.8).

Fairbairn converted on all six of his kicks (four field goals, two extra points) during the Texans' 26-3 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Fairbairn got the Texans on the board with a 45-yard field goal late in the first quarter before making each of his next three field goals in the second, which ended with a 53-yard kick. His four made field goals were his most since Week 18 of the 2025 season against the Colts (six), and Fairbarin has gone 7-for-7 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries over Houston's last two games. The Texans will cross the pond for a Week 6 AFC South showdown against the Jaguars on Oct. 18 in London.

Slye made his lone field-goal attempt during the Titans' 26-3 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Slye converted on a 30-yard chip shot to end the Titans' opening offensive drive, but that ended being his only attempt of the game. He's attempted one or zero field goals in four of the first five games of the regular season, and his scoring floor is the lowest of all kickers given that the Titans score just 11.6 points per game, which is dead last in the NFL. Tennessee hits the road for Week 6 against Indianapolis on Oct. 18.

Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars in London.

Elliott's only field-goal try came late in the fourth quarter, when he knocked through his 48-yard attempt to give the Eagles a 17-16 lead with only eight seconds left to play. He has yet to miss a kick through five regular-season games, though he's made only one field goal or zero in four of those contests. Elliott's scoring floor ceiling figures to be limited given that the Eagles' offense has the second-fewest yards per game (262.2) and ranks in the bottom-5 in points allowed per game (18.4). The Eagles will be home for four of their next five games, starting with Week 6 against the Panthers on Oct. 18.

Little made both of his field goals and went 1-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Jaguars' 19-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday in London.

The Jaguars looked dead in the water after Eagles' kicker Jake Elliott connected on a 48-yard field goal to give Philadelphia a 17-16 lead with only eight seconds left in the fourth quarter. However, Ameer Abdullah gave Jacksonville hope with a 53-yard return on the ensuing kickoff, and Little answered the call with a 57-yard field goal to seal the victory for the Jaguars. Little is 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts through five regular-season games, with both of those misses coming from 50-plus yards. The Jaguars will stay in London for Week 6 to face the Texans in an AFC South showdown.
