Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is once again AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Boswell was 6 of 6 on field goal attempts in Sunday’s 18-16 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
It marked the third time in Boswell’s career that he made six fields goals, which is the most in NFL history. Boswell also has a six field goal game in the playoffs, an 18-16 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2016 Divisional Round Game.
Boswell joined John Carney (1993) as the only kickers ever with six made FGs in multiple games within a season. Boswell also went 6 of 6 in the Steelers’ 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1.
Boswell was also named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month in September and October. He’s well on his way to being a first-team All-Pro. He is 29 of 30 on field goal attempts this season. His only miss was a 62-yarder in the Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
“I love Boz, and I’m tired of him getting player of the week,” joked Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin after Sunday’s win. “He’ll probably get player of the week again this week. He is deserving of it, but it reminds us of our warts. It reminds us of the work that we need to do. But no doubt I’m thankful that he’s on our team.”
Boswell has a league-high 29 field goals after 10 games. He is on track to break the season record of 44 set by San Francisco’s David Akers in 2011.
