Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made NFL history during the team’s 18-16 win over the Baltimore Ravens, completing a flawless six-for-six field goal performance. This feat marks Boswell as the first kicker in Steelers history to have two games in a single season with six made field goals.
Boswell’s consistency is unprecedented; his latest game tied him with NFL legend John Carney, joining a rare group of kickers who have achieved this twice in a season. Notably, this was Boswell’s third career game hitting six field goals without a miss, setting a new NFL record. The Steelers have won all three of these games, highlighting his clutch contributions.
As the season progresses, Boswell is on pace to challenge the NFL record for most field goals in a season. Currently, he has 29 successful kicks through ten games, with the record standing at 44, set by former Philadelphia Eagles kicker David Akers.
Boswell’s reliability stands out, with an impressive 29 of 30 accuracy this season, making him the most dependable kicker in the league. His flawless execution was particularly evident in the challenging conditions of the recent game, where Ravens’ kicker Justin Tucker struggled, missing two field goals amid strong winds.
Boswell’s remarkable accuracy and ability to perform under pressure are not only breaking records but also solidifying his status as one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL today. His contributions are a key factor in the Steelers’ strong season.
