News

  • Misses first kick

    McLaughlin converted one of two field-goal attempts and two of two extra-point kicks in Thursday's 17-14 win over Denver.

    Analysis: McLaughlin was good from 52 yards -- he's four of four from 50 and beyond -- but had a 41-yard attempt blocked. While the failed attempt is technically a missed field goal, McLaughlin has been perfect on kicks that are not blocked in 2021. The Browns have suffered a spate of injuries to key skill-position players, which could break either way for a kicker. Last week, McLaughlin had just two points in a blowout loss to the Cardinals; this week, he was in position for an eight-point game, plus…read more

  • Remains perfect in low-output game

    McLaughlin made two of two extra-point kicks and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 37-14 loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: McLaughlin did all that he was asked to do, but Cleveland's defense got rolled by the Cardinals and the offense couldn't keep up as it did last week in a 47-42 loss to the Chargers. When needed, McLaughlin has been a steady boot for the Browns, making all nine field-goal attempts and 15 extra-point kicks. He's currently tied for 14th among placekickers with 42 points through six games.

  • Racks up double-digit points

    McLaughlin went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point kicks in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: McLaughlin was perfect again and has converted all 22 kicks -- nine field goals and 13 extra-points -- through five weeks. This was McLaughlin's second double-digit effort in the last three weeks. A third-year journeyman that's kicked for six teams since entering the NFL in 2019, McLaughlin has earned permanency for the first time.

  • Keeps dialing it in long distance

    McLaughlin made two of two field-goal attempts and was not asked to kick an extra point in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: McLaughlin, who has not missed a kick yet, converted from 48 and 53 yards in the win. It was his third successful attempt from beyond the 50. The Browns lined up for an extra-point kick following their lone touchdown, but a defensive delay-of-game penalty changed their thinking. With the penalty enforced, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to go for a two-pointer from the one-yard line, and the team was successful.

  • Cements placekicking job

    McLaughlin successfully converted four field-goal attempts and two extra-point kicks for 14 points in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: McLaughlin's big day included two field goals from beyond a distance of 50 yards -- a 57- and 52- yarder -- and he joined Phil Dawson as the only two kickers in franchise history to make two field goals of 50 yards or more in a single game. The Browns' red-zone offense, which had scored six touchdowns on seven trips the first two weeks of the season, got bogged down by Chicago's defense. Cleveland scored one TD and settled for two field goals among its four trips -- a fourth red-zone appearance…read more

  • Perfect with little to do

    McLaughlin successfully converted his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 31-21 win over Houston.

    Analysis: Through two weeks, McLaughlin hasn't had much to do. Week 2's field goal came on his first attempt of the season, as the Browns have scored touchdowns on six of seven drives that reached the red zone. McLaughlin's made all of his extra-point tries, and on his kickoffs that have been returned, the opponents' average starting field position has been the 20-yard line.

  • Makes minor impact

    McLaughlin made three of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 33-29 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McLaughlin came out of the preseason as the only rostered kicker, but it wasn't until just before the start of the regular season that the Browns confirmed him as their placekicker. That left his status murky entering fantasy drafts, but he did nothing to lose the job Sunday. The Browns scored touchdowns on all four trips to the red zone, and head coach Kevin Stefanski opted for a two-point conversion following an encroachment penalty on what was supposed to be a kick. Three of his five…read more

  • Active Sunday

    McLaughlin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's season opener against Kansas City.

    Analysis: Though McLaughlin was a full participant in practice Friday, he was listed as questionable for Sunday's game. However, he's good to go after all, while fellow kicker Chris Naggar has been made inactive by the Browns.

  • Added to injury report Friday

    Though McLaughlin was a full participant in practice Friday, he's listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Chiefs with a hamstring injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: We'll monitor McLaughlin's status leading up to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but he's currently the only kicker on Cleveland's active roster. If his Week 1 status indeed is in any danger, the Browns have the option of elevating Chris Naggar from their practice squad.

  • Will kick Week 1

    Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said McLaughlin will be the team's placekicker Week 1 against the Chiefs, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin outkicked Cody Parkey in training camp but was not declared the de facto kicker until Monday. The Browns added Chris Naggar to the practice squad last week, but it will not affect McLaughlin's status at this time. He made all of his preseason kicks before missing on a 56-yard field-goal attempt then later an extra-point kick in the third preseason game.

  • Some misses Sunday

    McLaughlin was successful on two of three field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 19-10 win over Atlanta in preseason Week 3.

    Analysis: McLaughlin is the last kicker standing for the Browns, but he's not a lock to open the regular season two weeks from now. His lone field-goal miss was a 56-yard attempt at the end of the first half -- it hit the crossbar. He showed a good leg all camp, particularly on kickoffs leading to touchbacks, but the Browns are expected to review available placekickers between now and Week 1.

  • Still the lone kicker

    McLaughlin is the lone kicker in camp after the Browns waived Cody Parkey on Tuesday, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: As of Thursday, the Browns had not brought in another leg to challenge McLaughlin, but they aren't committing to him yet. Whether it's head coach Kevin Stefanski or special-teams coach Mike Priefer, the staff utilized "coachspeak" regarding McLaughlin opening the season as the team's kicker. Stefanski said general manager Andrew Berry will discuss the kicking situation following the final preseason game, while Priefer said he doesn't make those decisions. It looks like McLaughlin will handle…read more

  • Handling kicking duties

    McLaughlin is in position to handle the Browns' kicking duties with Cody Parkey headed to IR with a quad injury, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: That said, it's quite plausible that the Browns could bring another kicker aboard to challenge McLaughlin, but for now the 25-year-old, who's had regular-season stints with a handful of teams over the last two campaigns, will work behind Cleveland's Baker Mayfield-led offense. It's an assignment that could result in fantasy relevance for McLaughlin, if he ends up cementing it.

  • Steps in for Parkey

    McLaughlin handled all of the kicking duties in the second half of Sunday's 17-13 win over the Giants in preseason Week 2 due to an injury to Cody Parkey (quadriceps), Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin has converted all his field-goal and extra-point attempts this preseason, including a 49-yard field goal with plenty to spare in Sunday's win, and all but one kickoff has resulted in a touchback. The lone kick returned Sunday was from two yards inside the end zone and ended up with the Giants at their own 13-yard line. Head coach Kevin Stefanski was not sure how Parkey's injury occurred or the severity. Parkey is still considered the favorite to win the job, but obviously the injury…read more

  • Claimed by Cleveland

    The Browns claimed McLaughlin off waivers from the Jets on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin will get a chance to compete with the Browns this offseason. The team already rostered two kickers (Cody Parkey and Matt McCrane) before claiming McLaughlin.

  • Kicker hits open market

    The Jets released McLaughlin on Friday.

    Analysis: McLaughlin only made one appearance for the Jets last season, in which he wasn't afforded the chance to make a single field-goal try. He did suit up for three games in Jacksonville, converting four of five field-goal attempts and three of four extra-point tries.

  • No FG attempts in Jets debut

    McLaughlin made both PAT attempts and didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's 28-14 loss to New England.

    Analysis: McLaughlin made his Jets debut in the season finale after the team waived Sam Ficken. The 24-year-old Illinois product could compete for the kicking job in New York next season, though he didn't do much to give himself a leg up in that competition with this quiet performance.

  • Kicking in Week 17

    McLaughlin will be the Jets' starting kicker in Sunday's game against the Patriots following news that the team waived Sam Ficken.

    Analysis: McLaughlin has played 18 games for four different teams -- the Jets will be his fifth -- since entering the league in 2019. In that stretch, McLaughlin has connected on 22 of 28 field-goal attempts and 29 of 30 extra-point tries. Week 17 may serve as a tryout for McLaughlin's future with the team.

  • Won't play against Browns

    McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: McLaughlin was claimed off waivers by the Jets on Dec. 14, but he has yet to suit up for Gang Green. Sam Ficken will continue to be the team's starting kicker.

  • Lands in Big Apple

    The Jets claimed McLaughlin off waivers from the Jaguars on Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin missed two kicks in last week's 27-24 loss to the Vikings, leading to the Jaguars cutting him Saturday. He could land on his feet with a starting role in New York. In this past Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks, Jets kicker Sergio Castillo missed three of four field-goal tries, and his tenure with the team is likely coming to an end. In turn, McLaughlin likely will start in Sunday's game against the Rams as long as Sam Ficken (groin) doesn't return from IR.

  • Cut loose by Jaguars

    The Jaguars waived McLaughlin on Saturday.

    Analysis: McLaughlin missed two costly kicks in last week's 27-24 overtime loss to the Vikings, leading to yet another rotation for Jacksonville's kickers. The Jags signed Aldrick Rosas to the active roster in a corresponding move, and he'll be the team's starting kicker Sunday against the Titans. If McLaughlin clears waivers, he has a good chance to revert to the team's practice squad.

  • Misses two kicks

    McLaughlin made one of two field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Things got off to a rough start Sunday as the 24-year-old missed the PAT on Jacksonville's opening touchdown, and Vikings kicker Dan Bailey followed with two missed PATs of his own. McLaughlin then came up short on a desperation 62-yard field goal at the end of regulation, sending the game to overtime. He's 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-4 on extra-point attempts in three games this season.

  • Comes off COVID-19 list

    The Jaguars activated McLaughlin (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: McLaughlin missed last weekend's loss to the Browns while on the COVID list, but he'll now be eligible to return to action Week 13. Aldrick Rosas stands to return to the practice squad as McLaughlin slots back into the starting lineup for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

  • Won't be available Week 12

    Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone confirmed that McLaughlin won't be eligible to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: The Jaguars placed McLaughlin on the list Tuesday after he either tested positive for COVID-19 or came into close contact with somewhat who did. Whatever the case, McLaughlin apparently isn't on track to clear all protocols before Sunday, so the Jaguars intend to promote Aldrick Rosas from the practice squad to handle the team's kicking duties this weekend.

  • Heads to COVID list

    The Jaguars placed McLaughlin on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: McLaughlin's placement on the list comes after he tested positive for COVID-19 or was deemed a close contact of someone who tested positive. If it's the latter case, he could have enough time to clear the NFL's protocols and play Sunday against the Browns. McLaughlin has served as Jacksonville's kicker for the past two weeks, making all five of his kicks (three field goals, two extra points).

  • Supplies only points

    McLaughlin made his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old converted from 41 yards out to cap Jacksonville's opening drive, which ended up being the team's only points of the afternoon against a strong Pittsburgh defense. The game against the Browns next week certainly provides a better matchup, but the inconsistency of the Jaguars offense severely limits any fantasy potential. McLaughlin has made both PATs and all three field-goal attempts through two games this season.

  • Perfect in Jags debut

    McLaughlin converted both field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old performed well in his first game for Jacksonville, especially given the 20-plus mph winds Sunday at Lambeau Field. McLaughlin converted field goals from 52 and 31 yards, both of which gave the Jaguars the lead at the time. Aldrick Rosas is on the practice squad and will have his suspension lifted after next week's matchup with Pittsburgh, but McLaughlin should earn a longer look from Jacksonville if he puts together another strong performance.

  • Ready for Sunday's contest

    Mclaughlin had his roster exemption lifted Saturday, moving him to the 53-man roster for Sunday's game versus the Packers.

    Analysis: McLaughlin is expected to be the Jaguars' starting kicker Sunday. The 24-year-old bounced around last season, playing for three different teams. He connected on 18 of 23 field-goal attempts (78 percent) and all 26 extra points in 2019, and he could remain as Jacksonville's kicker for the rest of the season with strong performances.

  • Waiting to clear testing protocols

    McLaughlin isn't expected to join the Jaguars for workouts until Saturday while he waits to clear COVID-19 testing and screening protocols, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Jacksonville signed McLaughlin to its roster Tuesday, but because he's arriving from a different organization (Minnesota), he won't be permitted to take part in team activities for a few days. McLaughlin thus will miss each of the Jaguars' three practices this week, but assuming he arrives in Green Bay this weekend and clears the necessary protocols, he should serve as the team's kicker Sunday against the Packers.

    The Jaguars signed McLaughlin off the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: McLaughlin won't immediately count against Jacksonville's 53-man roster while he completes COVID-19 testing and screening protocols upon joining a new organization, but the Jaguars expect to have him available to serve as their kicker Sunday in Green Bay. With Jacksonville recently shutting top kicker Josh Lambo (hip) down for the season, McLaughlin is likely to kick for the team for at least two games before potentially ceding his role to practice-squad member Aldrick Rosas (suspension), who…read more

  • Lands on practice squad

    The Vikings signed McLaughlin to the practice squad Tuesday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The Vikings will roll with placekicker Dan Bailey to kick off the 2020 campaign, as expected, with McLaughlin around as an emergency option. McLaughlin filled in admirably for Adam Vinatieri across four appearances with the Colts last season.

    The Colts will waive McLaughlin, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin filled in for the injured Adam Vinatieri down the stretch last year, but he was beaten out for the Colts' 2020 kicking job by rookie Rodrigo Blankenship.

  • Slight setback in kicking battle

    Rodrigo Blankenship outperformed McLaughlin in Saturday's scrimmage, making six of seven field goals, the Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Blankenship made kicks of 33, 37, 41, 52, 56 and 57 yards and missed from 48. McLaughlin made four of seven kicks, converting from 33, 37, 41 and 57 yards and missing from 48, 52 and 56 yards. McLaughlin had performed better than Blankenship in the first scrimmage, so the battle for the placekicking job remains close. However, McLaughlin is still the favorite as a veteran since he made five of six field-goal attempts and all 11 PATs in his stint with the Colts last season.

  • Lead in kicking job battle

    McLaughlin was 8-for-8 in field goal attempts in Monday's scrimmage at Lucas Oil Stadium and appears to have a lead over rookie Rodrigo Blankenship, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Blankenship was 5-for-8 in field-goal attempts, with misses from 39, 44 and 53 yards. McLaughlin looks likely to win the job, but the team may not announce the starting placekicker until shortly before Week 1.

    McLaughlin has done well in the Colts' kicking competition thus far, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin is competing with rookie Rodrigo Blankenship to replace future Hall of Famer Adam Vinatieri ahead of the upcoming campaign. Despite being pitted against Blankenship, who joins the Colts after a prolific college career at Georgia, McLaughlin has helped mentor the undrafted kicker early in camp. According to coach Frank Reich, both players have fared well while being tested in a variety of ways thus far, so it'll be worthwhile to monitor whether one kicker gains a leg up in the coming…read more

  • Receives extension from Indianpolis

    McLaughlin signed a one-year extension with the Colts on Monday.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old served as the Colts' kicker for the final four games in place of Adam Vinatieri (knee), and it makes sense the team would like to keep him around since the veteran isn't guaranteed to return for a 25th NFL season. McLaughlin finished the season 18-for-23 on field goals and 26-for-26 on extra points between 11 games with the Chargers, 49ers and Colts.

  • Makes lone field-goal attempt

    McLaughlin converted his only field-goal attempt and all five extra-point attempts during Sunday's 38-6 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old made his only field goal during the third quarter as the Colts were seemingly in command of this contest from the start. McLaughlin is now 3-for-4 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points in three games since taking over for Adam Vinatieri (knee).

  • Converts lone extra point

    McLaughlin didn't attempt a field goal and made a lone extra-point attempt in Monday's 34-7 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The game script kept McLaughlin from making a real impact in this blowout loss. The Colts opted to punt from the Saints' 39-yard line in the first quarter, and that would've been the only chance for McLaughlin to attempt a field goal, as they finished with just 205 yards of total offense. McLaughlin made two of three field goals, including a 50-yarder, in his Colts debut in Week 14, and he'll hope for more opportunities in this Sunday's matchup against the panthers.

  • Solid in team debut

    McLaughlin connected on two of three field goals and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: McLaughlin nailed field goals from 50 and 19 yards, but he missed one from 47. This is the rookie's third team of the season, but it should be his last move -- McLaughlin is expected to retain his starting kicker role with the Colts for the foreseeable future, as Adam Vinatieri is set to undergo season-ending knee surgery.

    Analysis: As anticipated, McLaughlin will step in to kick for his third different team this season after Vinatieri's knee injury prevented him from practicing Thursday and Friday. The Colts haven't yet determined if Vinatieri will be available again this season, as coach Frank Reich said Friday that the veteran is viewed as week-to-week, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star.

  • Likely to kick in Week 14

    McLaughlin is expected to serve as the Colts' kicker Week 14 against the Buccaneers after Adam Vinatieri (knee) expressed doubt about his availability for Sunday's game, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports. "I don't have an answer," Vinatieri said, when asked Thursday about his status for Week 14 and the rest of the season. "I don't know. We'll see how [the injured knee] feels [Friday] and the next day and the next day."

    Analysis: After experiencing increased discomfort in his left knee, Vinatieri was listed as a limited practice participant on the Colts' first injury report of Week 14, prompting Indianapolis to put in a waiver claim for McLaughlin later that day. Vinatieri underwent an MRI on Thursday, but the Colts are still awaiting the results of the tests before commenting on his availability moving forward. Given that the 46-year-old has already missed a total of 14 kicks (eight field goals, six extra points) and…read more

  • Claimed by Indy

    The Colts claimed McLaughlin off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday.

    Analysis: The move comes after veteran kicker Adam Vinatieri (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday. McLaughlin previously kicked for the Chargers and 49ers this season, hitting 13 of his 17 field-goal attempts and all 15 of his extra-point tries across seven games.

  • Let go by 49ers

    The 49ers waived McLaughlin on Tuesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin filled in for Robbie Gould in three contests for San Francisco, converting an admirable seven of eight field-goal tries and all eight extra-point attempts. Given his impressive performance, McLaughlin could be a candidate to draw interest elsewhere in the league should other clubs face kicker issues.

  • Healthy scratch Sunday

    McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin has filled in admirably for the injured Robbie Gould (quadriceps), going seven for eight on his field goal attempts and nailing all eight of his extra points. McLaughlin's services won't be needed for the 49ers on Sunday, as the aforementioned Gould returns from injury.

  • Huge game on SNF

    McLaughlin went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-8 victory over the Packers.

    Analysis: McLaughlin stayed perfect for the second consecutive week following his ugly shank against the Seahawks back in Week 10. The undrafted rookie continues to start for Robbie Gould (quadriceps), and while the latter is progressing (kicked during practice last week), his status for Sunday's matchup against Baltimore is unclear at the moment. Either kicker would be a solid fantasy option for an offense that is moving the ball with ease recently.

  • Starting against Packers

    McLaughlin will serve as the 49ers' kicker for Sunday's game against the Packers with Robbie Gould (hip) inactive.

    Analysis: For the third straight game, McLaughlin will work as the team's starting kicker. The rookie has been solid, connecting on four of five field goals and all four extra-point tries. Gould is making progress in recovery, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, so McLaughlin's days in the Bay Area may soon be numbered.

  • Perfect as fill-in

    McLaughlin converted his lone field-goal attempt from 43 yards out and was 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Sunday's 36-26 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: McLaughlin didn't suffer any mental blocks after shanking a potential game-winning field goal against Seattle last week, as he was a perfect 4-for-4 overall on kicks in a tight contest. Robbie Gould's (quadriceps) status will be up in the air heading into a primetime matchup against the Packers on Sunday, while the rookie fill-in has likely won back the trust of the team to continue kicking in the event its veteran starter is unable to go.

  • Kicking against Cardinals

    McLaughlin will be the 49ers' kicker in Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals because Robbie Gould (quadriceps) is inactive, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: This decision was expected after Gould carried a doubtful tag into this outing. McLaughlin was solid in his first start with the 49ers last week, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts, including two over 40 yards. Although the rookie missed a potential game-winning kick, coach Kyle Shanahan has faith in McLaughlin, who will look to build off of Week 10's performance in this divisional matchup.

  • Likely set for Week 11 kicking duties

    McLaughlin is expected to remain the 49ers' kicker Sunday against the Cardinals with Robbie Gould (quadriceps) listed as doubtful for the contest, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin filled in for Gould in Monday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks, nailing an extra point and field goals from 39, 43 and 47 yards in regulation but badly missing on a 47-yard game winner will less than three minutes left in the extra period. Despite the misfire, McLaughlin appears set to get another shot at redemption in Week 11, barring an unexpected recovery from Gould over the next two days. The 49ers didn't work out any kickers following the Monday night loss, signaling that…read more

  • Misses clutch kick

    McLaughlin converted three of four field-goal attempts along with his lone extra-point try in Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: McLaughlin was filling in for the seasoned Robbie Gould (quadriceps), and his inexperience showed when he horribly botched an attempt to win the game in overtime. In his defense, the rookie kicker did convert twice late in the game to tie up the contest. Gould's status is still unclear for Sunday's matchup with Arizona, but McLaughlin would surely get bypassed if the former is ready to play.

  • Likely to play Monday

    McLaughlin will likely handle kicking duties Monday against Seattle with Robbie Gould (quadriceps) listed as doubtful.

    Analysis: McLaughlin signed with the 49ers earlier in the week, and it looks like he won't have to wait long to make his debut. Fantasy owners who forget to remove a bye-week kicker from their lineup can fish McLaughlin up off waivers in a pinch.

  • Joins 49ers

    The 49ers signed McLaughlin to a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: McLaughlin's opportunity in San Francisco comes with Robbie Gould nursing a strained quad. In the event that Gould isn't able to fully recover in time for Monday's tilt against the Seahawks, McLaughlin would be in line to handle kicking duties. The Illinois product appeared in four games with the Chargers earlier this season, converting six of nine field-goal attempts and all seven extra-point tries.
