The ‘Wizard of Boz’ strikes again. While fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers anticipated QBs Russell Wilson and Lamar Jackson to create a high-scoring Week 11 contest, they were instead treated to another Chris Boswell masterclass.
Boswell has achieved accolade after accolade to begin the 2024 season, being named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month in both September and October, as well as kicking his 1,000th career point in the Steelers’ Week 3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
His best performance in 2024 came all the way back in Week 1, kicking a perfect six-for-six field goals from 57, 56, 51, 44, 40, and 25 yards.
Boswell matched his season-best six field goals made in the Steelers’ Week 11 victory over the Ravens, kicking for 57, 52, 50, 32, 32, and 27 yards.
The Steelers’ kicker is putting together one of his best seasons to date, with his confidence, accuracy, and consistency rallying his team to an unbelievable 8-2 start in 2024.
Here are some of the best fan reactions to Boswell’s immaculate Week 11 performance.
If things continue as is, Chris Boswell should be seriously considered for MVP. And I’m not joking. It has happened before. The NFL record is 44 FGs. He’s on pace for 49 of 51. And he won 2 games in which he had all the points, on 6 FGs, both wins. Extremely valuable.

Have we decided on the date for National Chris Boswell day? Also, when’s the statue being erected?

Chris Boswell has been better than Justin Tucker for years but nobody wanted to accept it until now

Chris Boswell is 9-10 from 50+ yards on field goals this season. And 29-30 on field goals in general this season.
The man has missed ONE kick this year.
