The New England Patriots ranked 19th in overall field goal percentage as a team last season, with their placekickers converting a total of 27 field goals out of 34 attempts for a 79.4% success rate.
That’s a pretty low metric for a team that has been blessed by terrific stability and performance at kicker for the past two decades plus.
Adam Vinatieri was the kicker for the Pats from 1996 to 2005, and upon his departure for the Indianapolis Colts, New England replaced him with Stephen Gostkowski, who was in Foxborough from 2006 through 2019.
