Is Caleb Sturgis the answer at kicker? That’s the question we’ve been asking ourselves since the start of the season.
Sturgis, who signed a two-year, $4.45 million deal in the offseason, won the starting job over Roberto Aguayo. Both performed well in the preseason and it seemed as if the Chargers’ kicking woes from last season were finally behind them.
Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case. The 29-year-old Sturgis has connected on just 75 percent of his field goals (9 of 12), including a long of 49. His three misses came from 40-plus yards out. He’s currently tied for 27th among kickers with at least two attempts.
