The Pittsburgh Steelers had quite the kicker problem before Chris Boswell came along nine years ago today. They went through four in two months (Shawn Suisham, Garrett Hartley, Josh Scobee).
Fast forward to now and Boswell is one of the most clutch kickers in the NFL.
Boswell is responsible for an NFL-leading 39 points (of 75 total points scored) in September. He went 11-for-12 on field goal attempts, including a long of 57 yards, and six-for-six on extra point attempts.
According to Steelers.com, Boswell’s 11 field goals made (five field goals of 50+ yards, 91.7% field goal percentage and 83.3% field goal percentage of 50+ yards) all lead the AFC and rank second in the NFL. Boswell’s only miss came on a 62-yarder in Week 3.
This is the third time Boswell has been named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week (Week 6, 2015; Week 13, 2017; Week 1, 2024). He also won AFC Special Teams Player of the Month (December) in 2015.
