Boswell Looking To Avoid Sophomore Slump Suffered By Previous Steelers Kickers

After putting a 46-yard field goal through the uprights and converting five extra point attempts Monday night in the Pittsburgh Steelers regular season opening win over the Washington Redskins, kicker Chris Boswell starts his sophomore NFL season with a perfect 100% conversion rate. That is something that his two predecessors have struggled to do in their sophomore season with the team. While Boswell enjoyed the claim to most productive rookie kicker in Steelers history last season, it is unknown if this will be enough to shake the mysterious sophomore slump that both Shaun Suisham and Jeff Reed suffered before him.
