Beat Writer Believes Steelers ‘Probably Will’ Challenge Boswell In 2023 ‘Maybe He Needs To Be Pushed’

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell ranks dead last in the entire NFL in field goal percentage this season out of 33 qualified kickers. He rates 41st out of 42 when including those who have not played enough to qualify. Austin Seibert is the only other kicker in the NFL this season who has connected on under 70 percent of his field goal attempts.

Boswell is just 18-for-26 this year, missing eight field goals in 11 games, although one of those attempts was blocked. His 69.2 percent field goal accuracy is by far the second-worst of his career, only above his horrendous 2018 season in which he went 13-for-20, making just 65 percent of his attempts.
