TAMPA, Fla. -- From the time general manager Jason Licht boldly traded into the second round of the 2016 NFL draft for Roberto Aguayo to Aguayo's well-documented struggles to the subsequent struggles of replacement Nick Folk, no team has drawn more attention or scrutiny for its kicking woes than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Folk missed three field goals in the Bucs' 19-14 loss to the New England Patriots on Oct. 5. He nearly cost the Bucs their 25-23 win over the New York Giants on Oct. 1, missing two field tries and an extra point.
