Can kicker Roberto Aguayo make the Bucs a winner? The numbers are clear

Missed field goals sting.

The Bucs know this feeling well.

There was the 19-9 loss to the Texans last season when Kyle Brindza missed three field goals and an extra point. There was the 34-23 loss to the Panthers the next week, when Brindza missed two more field goals and another extra point.

The year before, there were blocked kicks in close losses to the Rams and the Browns.

One man who still feels the sting of those misses: Bucs general manager Jason Licht. In May, he traded up into the second round of the NFL draft to take Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo.
