After a 2020 season which included a 24/24 record on field goals and a 49/53 mark on extra points, few expected Jason Myers to be able to repeat such an impeccable performance. But even fewer expected the regression we’ve seen from the former Jacksonville kicker this season.
Of his eleven games with a field goal attempt going into Sunday’s game against Detroit, Myers had missed a field goal in five games. He was just 13/19 on field goals through Week 16, good for a career-low 68.4%: tied for dead-last among qualifying kickers in the NFL with Matt Ammendola, who the Jets cut in early December.
