Things could be worse for Chris Boswell. After all, he got paid pretty nicely earlier this year, earning more than I’ll make in my entire life. He got $8 million between a signing bonus, roster bonus, and base salary in 2018. But that doesn’t mean he very nearly lost his job.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ kicker probably came close to losing it once again last night, but would appear to have saved it late when he made a big 48-yard field goal with just under three minutes to play that gave them a seven-point lead over the New England Patriots, somewhat making up for an earlier miss that he pushed wide right.
