The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Chris Boswell has an argument to make as the best kicker in the NFL. He earned just his second Pro Bowl selection after leading the NFL in scoring, following a remarkable season. Yet perhaps the most remarkable thing about his season is the fact that his greatest accomplishment is already unremarkable.
Prior to the start of the 2024 season, the NFL all-time record for successful 50-yard field goals in a season was 11. Boswell finished the season with 13—but so did two others. In fact, four kickers in total made 12 or more field goals, and Boswell didn’t make the most.
