Pittsburgh Steelers K Chris Boswell sits at 40 made field goals through the first 16 games of the 2024 season. Within striking distance is the all-time single-season field goal record. If Boswell were to break the record, however, it would be a clear sign of trouble.
After all, you never set out to score a field goal when you take possession of the ball. Even the Steelers, despite appearances, are looking for the end zone. Chris Boswell has won a couple games on his own this year, making more history in the process, but that is not what the plan was going in.
