Losing Barth a blow to Bucs

One of league's most accurate kickers

Connor Barth was a Pro Bowl caliber kicker for the Bucs. Now he's out for the year with an Achilles injury. That's a blow to that team's hopes of making a playoff push.

Connor Barth is hardly a household name. He's just a kicker.

But he was very good. Over the last two years, he's missed only 7 field goals, and four of those were from 54-56 yards. He's hit 46 of his last 49 inside 50.

But he's gone for the year after injuring his Achilles. The Bucs replaced him with Lawrence Tynes, but that's a downgrade -- they lose some accuracy and power.

Among the 26 kickers with at least 100 attempts who attempted a field goal last year, Barth ranks 6th in accuracy. And he's a guy who was on the rise.
