The 2018 season was always thought to be an outlier for Chris Boswell.

But, after making only 20 of 28 field goal attempts, ranking dead last in conversion percentage among qualifying kickers, Boswell finished the 2022 season far below expectations.

At season's end, Mike Tomlin wasn't ready to express any level of concern after the Steelers gave him a four-year, $20-million contract. However, he was very clear that Boswell was expected to make more field goals.

"I haven't begun to assess it in that way yet. I'm sure that I will, and he will," Tomlin said during his end of season press conference.
