New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland continued a season-long trend in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs by missing another makeable field-goal attempt.
It’s been a rookie campaign filled of struggles for the 24-year-old Maryland product, who the Patriots traded up to select in the fourth round in this year’s draft. Ryland is just 13-of-20 on field goals this season, although he is perfect 19-of-19 on extra-point attempts.
The majority of Ryland’s misses have come from inside of 50 yards, including against the Chiefs when his 41-yarder in the first quarter sailed wide. He also butchered a game-tying 35-yard field goal at the end of regulation against the New York Giants and missed another 35-yard attempt against the Indianapolis Colts.
