If you feel like there's been a lot of field goals kicked already this NFL season, you are right.

Week 1 and Week 2 both dropped onto the leaderboard of the most field goals kicked in a single week in NFL history. Week 2 in particular broke the record for the most kicked in one week with 73 field goals, via Quirky Research. It's the first time over 70 field goals have been kicked in a single week in league history, as the previous record was 69 set in Week 15 of the 2016 season.
