Giants' Dominic Zvada: Makes all five kicks in win
Rotowire
Zvada made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone PAT in Sunday's 19-11 win over the Eagles.
After missing both of his field-goal tries in the Giants' pre-Week 8 bye overtime win over the Texans two weeks ago, coach John Harbaugh stuck with the rookie kicker, and Zvada answered with a perfect afternoon against Philly. Zvada accounted for 13 of the team's 19 points, converting field goals from 53, 49, 38 and 49 yards. On the season, he's 17-for-22 on field goals and 13-for-13 on PATs.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Keeping kicking job
Rotowire
Head coach John Harbaugh reiterated Monday that he's confident in Zvada and said that the Giants have no plans to work out other kickers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Though the Giants escaped with a 27-21 overtime win over the Texans on Sunday, Zvada had his second rough performance in the past three weeks. The undrafted rookie out of Michigan was unable to connect on field-goal tries of 44 and 56 yards, giving him five misses on 18 attempts through seven games. The Giants are hoping that their upcoming Week 8 bye will give Zvada some time to iron out kinks and refine his approach before the team returns to action Nov. 8 versus the Eagles.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Misses both FGAs in Week 7
Rotowire
Zvada missed both of his field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-21 overtime win against Houston.
Zvada had a rough week, missing a 56-yard try in the first quarter before pushing a 44-yarder wide right in the second quarter. The kicker has now gone 4-for-9 on field-goal tries over the last three weeks, and he'll have a chance to reset during the team's bye week in Week 8.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Makes three kicks in loss
Rotowire
Zvada made both of his field-goal attempts and his sole PAT in the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Zvada had a strong Week 6 bounceback after going 2-for-5 on field-goal attempts in Week 5. The kicker made 30-yard and 41-yard field goals in the loss, so he still may struggle with distance and consistency as the season continues.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Misses three field goals in Week 5 tie
Rotowire
Zvada went 2-for-5 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Commanders.
Zvada made all 11 of his field-goal attempts through the first four games of the regular season, but he fell back to earth a little bit during Sunday's game. Granted, two of his misses came from 50-plus yards, though he also missed a 46-yard field goal in overtime that would have given the Giants a 30-27 lead. His chance for redemption never came due to a Cam Skattebo fumble that turned the ball over in what would have been in field-goal range for Zvada. The rookie kicker is 11-for-14 on field-goal attempts (including 5-for-7 from 50-plus yards) and 8-for-8 on extra-point tries through five games. The Giants will stay home for a Week 6 tilt against the Saints on Oct. 18.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Makes three field goals in win
Rotowire
Zvada went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 36-24 win over the Cardinals.
Zvada converted multiple field goals for the third week in a row. The kicker made kicks from 39 and 50 yards in the first half before later adding a 52-yard make with 2:11 left in the fourth quarter. Zvada has now opened his NFL regular-season career by going 9-for-9 on field-goal tries, including five makes from 50-plus yards, over four contests so far in 2026.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Makes both FGA in Week 2 loss
Rotowire
Zvada made both of his field-goal attempts in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Zvada converted kicks of 24 and 52 yards, accounting for all of the Giants' points. The rookie kicker is a perfect 2-for-2 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs through two games, but his fantasy appeal was dealt a major blow after Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury that is expected to sideline him indefinitely.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Four PATs in debut
Rotowire
Zvada made all four of his PATs and attempted no field goals in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Cowboys.
Zvada displayed consistency as he knocked in all four point-after tries during his NFL debut. The kicker has yet to be tested from any range, however, and it remains unclear how the undrafted rookie out of Michigan will handle the longer challenges he will face in the NFL.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Could earn No. 1 kicker role
Rotowire
Zvada and Ben Sauls are expected to compete during training camp for the Giants' primary kicker role, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Sauls emerged as the Giants' kicker down the stretch last season, when he made all eight of his field-goal tries and all seven of his PATs in Weeks 16-18. Meanwhile, Zvada went unselected during April's NFL Draft but signed with New York following a standout college career that included setting a Michigan record with seven field goals of 50-plus yards (on seven attempts) over 13 games in 2024. Zvada was less effective as a senior, but his big leg drew the attention of the Giants, and he'll at least have a chance to push Sauls for the starting job in training camp. It initially looked like it would be a three-man competition, but the Giants cut veteran kicker Jason Sanders -- who has since signed with the Jets -- in early June.
