A leg up

Remaining teams feature standout kickers

There are only four teams left, and they’re all well stocked with quality kickers. All four of these teams would be very comfortable with their kickers walking onto the field to attempt a game-deciding 45-yard field goal in the dying seconds.

There are 31 active kickers with at least 60 career field goal attempts. Only five of those kickers have converted at least 87 percent of their career attempts, and three of them are playing in the conference championship games – Harrison Butker, Stephen Gostkowski and Wil Lutz.

Greg Zuerlein isn’t chopped liver either. He hit 55- and 56-yard field goals in the regular season and just missed a 63-yarder last week. He’s averaged almost 11 points in his 25 games under Sean McVay, the great scoring run ever by a kicker.

They’re all good, and I don’t see any of these four teams having an advantage (or disadvantage) at the kicker position.
