Steelers' Chris Boswell: Survives blocked PAT in Week 18
Rotowire
Boswell made both of his field-goal tries and went 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-24 victory against Baltimore.
Boswell put the Steelers on the board midway through the second quarter with a big 57-yard field goal. He added another FG -- this time a chip shot from 25 yards -- in the third period. The veteran kicker made his first two PAT tries, but he missed his third attempt, which came with less than one minute remaining in the game and could have given Pittsburgh a three-point lead. Though it wasn't immediately evident on the broadcast, the miss was eventually clarified to have been blocked, and it didn't end up costing the Steelers since Baltimore's Tyler Loop couldn't convert a 44-yard field-goal try as time expired. Boswell heads into the postseason having made 27 of 32 FG attempts -- including nine of 11 from 50-plus yards -- over 17 contests. The blocked PAT on Sunday was his first extra-point miss of the campaign on his 43rd try.

Steelers' Chris Boswell: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Boswell will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars while seeking a contract extension, Joe Rutter of TribLive.com reports.
Boswell is in the third year of his four-year, $20 million contract, and he is due to make $3.12 million and $3.22 million in 2025 and 2026, respectively. He has been one of the most accurate kickers since entering the NFL in 2015 and has connected on 90 percent or more of his field-goal attempts in five of the last six seasons. In 17 regular-season games in 2024, Boswell made a career-high 41 field goals (on 44 attempts, including 13-for-15 from 50-plus yards) while converting all 35 of his extra-point tries. Boswell's absence during practice has opened the door for undrafted rookie Ben Sauls to handle kicking duties during special-teams periods in practice, and the latter will serve as the Steelers' starting kicker Saturday.
