If you think NFL kickers are having an off year, you're on to something. Kickers have already missed more chip-shot field goals this season (seven out of 120 attempts from 20-29 yards for a 94.1 percent conversion rate) than they missed all of last season (six misses out of 236 attempts, a 97.5 percent conversion rate). Perhaps the most glaring examples came in a Week 7 tie in which both Arizona's Chandler Catanzaro and Seattle's Steven Hauschka missed game-winning field goals from inside 30 yards in overtime.
