The LA Chargers and kicking problems are synonymous with each other. Over various different seasons with various different kickers, the Bolts have been burnt by problems at the kicker position.

Michael Badgley was subject to these problems in 2020. Despite being promising early in his Chargers tenure, the wheels fell off for Badgley, who missed a combined 12 kicks between field goals and extra points.
