The Pittsburgh Steelerskicker Chris Boswell has the potential to break the record for the most field goals in a season. David Akers of the San Francisco 49ers set the record in 2011 with a total of 44 field goals. Boswell has already scored 36 field goals with four games remaining, drilling that many on 39 attempts.
Boswell has received praise this season and appears to be headed for a Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection. He kicked the Steelers to several victories with just his leg this season, earning him the AFC Player of the Week and AFC Player of the Month awards.
Boswell should end the season with 47 field goals if he maintains his current pace. This season, Boswell is 10 of 12 from beyond 50 yards, and he missed a kick that was blocked. As the Steelers approach the most difficult portion of their schedule in the coming weeks, it becomes more likely than ever that Boswell’s leg will be useful, particularly given some of their finishing drive problems.
