Quiet day in playoff loss
Badgley knocked down both of his extra-point tries Sunday in the Chargers' 41-28 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round.
Analysis: A week after leading the Chargers to a wild-card round win over the Ravens on the back of his five field goals, Badgley finished with his fewest points in any of his 12 games as the team's kicker. With the Chargers trailing by double digits for the final 42 minutes of the game, there wasn't much incentive for the team to opt for field goals, while Badgley missed out on some additional scoring chances when Los Angeles went for two on its final two touchdowns. The limited work Sunday won't take…read more

Carries team to victory
Badgley made five of his six field-goal attempts Sunday in the 23-17 wild-card win over the Ravens.
Analysis: It's fair to say that without Badgley's heroics, the Chargers could very easily have lost Sunday's playoff game despite dominating the contest for three quarters. Save for a second quarter attempt which was blocked, Badgley saved a Chargers offense that was otherwise incapable of stringing an extended drive together, converting on field-goal attempts of 21, 53, 40, 34 and 47 yards. The rookie kicker has been outstanding since earning the permanent starting role in Week 10, making all but one…read more

Makes every extra point
Badgley made all three of his extra-point attempts in the 29-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.
Analysis: Badgley didn't have any opportunities to kick a field goal, but he was perfect on his extra points, which is all the Chargers needed in order to claim a come-from-behind victory. Badgley has been a sight for sore eyes for a franchise that has been consistently plagued with below-average special teams and is generally a solid fantasy option given the Chargers' explosive offense.

Perfect Sunday
Badgley made both of his extra-point attempts and all four of his field-goal attempts in the 26-21 victory over the Bengals.
Analysis: It's not an exaggeration to say that Badgley's performance won the Chargers the game, as the rookie kicker was brilliant, connecting on an important 59-yard attempt to end the first half. Badgley has missed an extra point and field goal this season, but that's still light years better than recent production from previous Chargers kickers.

Hits field goal as time expires
Badgley hit one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his extra points in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Badgley missed from 52 yards in the game's first quarter, but after a crazy sequence in which the Steelers committed three straight offsides penalties resulting in two untimed downs, the rookie kicker was able to convert the game-winning kick from 29 yards out. The Chargers have a favorable home matchup against the Bengals in Week 14, so Badgley could find himself busy in a game where the offense should be able to move the ball down the field.

Perfect kicking performance
Badgley made his only field-goal attempt and six extra-point attempts in the 45-10 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Badgley put his struggles from last week behind him, connecting on all seven of his kicking attempts over the course of the afternoon. Badgley has missed just one kick in his brief tenure as the starter, but so long as the Chargers continue their excellence in the red zone, the rookie's kicking opportunities remain limited.

Missed extra point proves critical
Badgley made one of his two extra-point attempts and knocked in all three of his field-goal attempts Sunday during the 23-22 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Badgley's lone extra-point miss was critical given the final score, but it's worth pointing out that's Badgley's first miss of any kind this season. The rookie kicker replaced Caleb Sturgis as the starter in Week 10 and remains a solid fantasy option given his place in an excellent Chargers offensive attack.

Perfect kicking performance Sunday
Badgley made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his PATs in the 20-6 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Badgley has yet to miss a kick in his brief tenure as the starter, and as a result, the rookie instantly becomes an intriguing fantasy option given the nature of the Chargers high-scoring offense. The one negative might be that the Chargers are "too" efficient in the red zone, as there haven't been many long-distance kicking opportunities for either Badgley or the since-released Caleb Sturgis this season. A divisional matchup against the Broncos could be an interesting test for the fantasy…read more

Officially promoted to active roster
Badgley was officially signed to the Chargers' active roster Monday, Ricky Henne of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: This was expected after Los Angeles cut ties with kicker Caleb Sturgis earlier Monday after the veteran missed a field-goal attempt and two PATs during Sunday's loss to Seattle. Badgley will now take over as the starting kicker within an offense averaging 27.5 points per game in 2018, which checks in as the 11th-highest figure in the league. While filling in for an injured Sturgis in Weeks 6 and 7, Badgley converted all three of his attempted field goals (with the longest coming from 44 yards)…read more

Ready for promotion
Badgley is likely to be promoted from the practice squad to serve as the Chargers' kicker Sunday against the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Chargers demoted Badgley when Caleb Sturgis returned from a quadriceps injury, only to reverse course Monday after Sturgis missed a trio of kicks in a 25-17 win over the Seahawks. With Sturgis no longer on the roster, it's seemingly just a matter of time until Badgley is promoted into a role that attaches him to one of the best offenses in the NFL. The rookie kicker was flawless while filling in for Sturgis earlier this season, converting each of his three field-goal attempts and each of…read more

Expected to land with Chargers' practice squad
Badgley cleared waivers and is expected to be signed to the Chargers' practice squad, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Badgley was waived by the Chargers following Caleb Sturgis' return to full health, and the rookie will likely find a place on his former team's practice squad. The Miami product converted all three of his field-goal attempts and was perfect on extra-point tries during his two starts with the Chargers.

Waived by Chargers
Badgley was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
Analysis: With Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) nearing his return, the Chargers no longer had a need for Badgley, despite his strong showing with the team. The rookie kicker converted all three of his field-goal attempts and didn't miss an extra point. It's likely Badgley will be called upon for a tryout the next time a team is searching for a kicker.

Perfect again Sunday
Badgley converted both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Titans.
Analysis: The rookie kicker once again got the start with Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) inactive for Sunday's contest, converting on all four of his opportunities. Going 3-for-3 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra points isn't generally cause for celebration, but given the Chargers' multi-year struggle at the position, any semblance of perfection is worth acknowledging, and likely puts Badgley in a position to unseat Sturgis regardless of his health. While the team will likely avoid making any decisions…read more

Confirmed as Week 7 kicker
Badgley will handle kicking duties in Sunday's game against the Titans in London with Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) inactive for the contest, Ricky Henne of the Chargers' official site reports.
Analysis: Though Sturgis was labeled a full participant in practice Friday, the Chargers have elected to hold him out through their bye week, allowing Badgley to earn a second straight turn as the team's kicker. The undrafted rookie provided stability on special teams in the 38-14 win over the Browns in Week 6, making all five of his extra-point attempts while converting on a 44-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. With another solid outing this weekend, Badgley could retain the kicking job even if…read more

Could retain kicking duties in Week 7
Badgley could continue to serve as the Chargers' kicker in Sunday's game against the Titans in London, Ryan Kartje of The Orange County Register reports. "Mike did a good job," coach Anthony Lynn said, referring to Badgley's performance in the 38-14 victory over the Browns in Week 6. "Maybe we'll let [incumbent kicker Caleb Sturgis] heal another week and go with Mike. Right now, we're just going with the guy that's healthy. When they're both healthy, we'll figure it out."
Analysis: Sturgis was unable to recover from a quadriceps injury in time to dress against Cleveland, allowing the recently signed Badgley to make his NFL debut. The undrafted rookie out of Miami (Fla.) aced the test, nailing a 44-yard field goal and all five of his extra-point tries in the blowout win. Badgley's ability to knock down the freebies was no small feat, considering Sturgis had put his job in jeopardy by missing four of 12 extra-point attempts through the first five games. Sturgis remained a…read more

Will take on kicking duties Week 6
Badgley will make his NFL debut for the Chargers in the absence of Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps), who is inactive for the Week 6 matchup against the Browns.
Analysis: It's unlikely Badgley holds on to the gig long-term, barring an unexpectedly productive performance. The rookie was brought on by the Chargers on Thursday as a "security blanket," but he will now be tasked with filling in for Sturgis. The 23-year-old scuffled a bit in his final year with the Hurricanes in 2017, going just 17-for-23 on field goals and especially struggling from distance, going 3-for-8 on kicks of 40 yards or greater. While it's likely unfair to consider that predictive of his…read more

Could be team's kicker in Week 6
Badgley could handle kicking duties for the Chargers on Sunday against the Browns with Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) considered unlikely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: When he last spoke to the media Friday, coach Anthony Lynn told Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com that he had yet to decide if Badgley or Sturgis would kick for the Chargers in Week 6. Rapoport's report suggest that Badgley looks like the leading candidate to handle those duties for at least one game while Sturgis battles a strained quadriceps, but the Chargers will likely wait and see how Sturgis looks during pregame warmups before rendering a decision on that front. Badgley, an undrafted rookie…read more

Viewed as 'security blanket'
Coach Anthony Lynn said that Badgley will act as a "security blanket" for the Chargers in the event Sturgis is unable to serve as the team's kicker Sunday against the Browns.
Analysis: The Chargers' decision to sign Badgley to their 53-man roster rather than their practice squad seemed to hint that Sturgis was trending toward sitting out Week 6, but Lynn's comments appear to refute that notion, at least for now. It's clear nonetheless that Sturgis isn't fully healthy, and if the groin issue continues to hinder him heading into the weekend, the Chargers likely won't hesitate to turn to Badgley. The undrafted rookie out of Miami (Fla.) previously attended training camp with the…read more

Joining Chargers
The Chargers will sign Badgley to a contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The roster move comes after kicker Caleb Sturgis was limited in Wednesday's practice with a strained quadriceps. The Chargers likely wouldn't have added Badgley to the roster if they were comfortable with Sturgis' health heading into Sunday's matchup with the Browns, so it's expected that Badgley will serve as the kicker for that contest. Schefter notes, however, that Sturgis won't be cut or moved to injured reserve as a result of the setback, suggesting Badgley will likely only be in store for…read more
