It's Time To Take A Step Back And Appreciate The Current Greatness Of NFL Kickers

Aside from the QB position, no group has more pressure on them on a weekly basis in the National Football League than kickers. Their entire weeks, seasons, and careers are completely judged off a few split seconds that they have been thinking about all week. A lot of folks remember where they were for some of the biggest missed kicks in NFL history...

Those fanbases were tortured for living through that, but the negativity about NFL Kickers in this blog stops here. Why?

Nearly 90% from 50+ through two weeks! Absolute insanity. And the fact that pretty much the only one struggling so far this season is Justin Tucker says it all.
