Bucs' K Brindza not only one struggling with field goals, extra points

TAMPA — Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie Kyle Brindza isn’t the only kicker struggling to split the uprights this season.

An epidemic has broken out across the NFL, where kickers are missing field goals and extra points at an alarming rate.

On Sunday alone, Brindza led a group of nine kickers that combined to miss 11 field goal attempts.

Two more misses came from Steelers kicker Josh Scobee during Pittsburgh’s 23-20 loss to Baltimore on Thursday night.

Those two kicks cost Scobee his job. Now many are wondering if Scobee or maybe former Bucs kicker Connor Barth will replace Brindza.
