There’s no sense tap dancing around it: the New England Patriots suffered in 2019 because of their kicking game.
Usually one of the more reliable teams in the NFL when it comes to converting successful field goals, the Pats actually finished the season ranked 19th out of 32 teams in field goal percentage, coming in at a dismal 79.4%. Collectively, New England’s kickers missed seven field goals during the season.
Even more disturbingly, the Patriots finished 29th out of 32 teams in extra point attempts, nailing just 39 of their 45 tries for an 86.
