Kicking was the Chargers’ Achilles’ heel in 2017.
It cost them the first two games of the season. You can even say it was the primary reason why the Chargers missed the playoffs.
Los Angeles finished dead last in field-goal percentage (66.7). They also hit just 37-of-42 extra points, the third-worst mark in the league. The Giants, who finished with the second-worst field-goal percentage, made 72 percent of their field goals. That says a lot about how awful the Chargers’ unit was.
Five players attempted at least one field goal this season: Younghoe Koo, Nick Novak, Drew Kaser (yes, the punter), Travis Coons and Nick Rose.
