Misses yet again

Boswell made his only field-goal attempt (29 yards) and two of three extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-16 win over Baltimore.

Analysis: His streak of perfect games ends at two, and he has missed at least one attempt in five of eight games this season. Despite all the offensive weapons, Boswell is averaging just five points per game and faces the Panthers - who yield the third fewest points per game to opposing kickers - in Week 10.

Perfect in blowout win

Boswell made his only field-goal attempt (42 yards) and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 33-18 win over Cleveland.

Analysis: After a rocky start, Boswell has put together back-to-back perfect games, and the Pittsburgh offense looks to be firing on all cylinders, averaging 34 points per game during their three-game winning streak. He'll face a tough test in Week 9 against the Ravens, who've allowed opposing kickers to average just 5.6 points per game this season, the second-best mark in the league. Boswell scored six points against them earlier this season.

Perfect in come-from-behind win

Boswell made both his field-goal attempts (21, 24) and converted both his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 28-21 win over Cincinnati.

Analysis: This was only the second time in six games this season that Boswell did not miss a kick, and he'll have time to get his head right as the Steelers are on a bye in Week 7. They host Cleveland, whom they tied 21-21 in Week 1, in a game that Boswell was wide left on a 42-yard field-goal attempt with 1:44 remaining in overtime, which would have given Pittsburgh the win.

Sticking around as Pittsburgh's kicker

Coach Mike Tomlin indicated that Boswell would remain the Steelers' kicker for the team's Week 6 matchup with the Bengals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. "[Boswell] has delivered for us a lot the last few years," Tomlin said.

Analysis: Boswell converted five of his six extra-point attempts in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Falcons, giving him three misfires from that range this season. He's also knocked down only three of his six field-goal tries, with all of those misses coming from between 40 and 49 yards. Despite Boswell's lack of efficiency on the short attempts, the Steelers haven't yet reached their breaking point with the 27-year-old, though there's undoubtedly some frustration after he inked a four-year extension prior…read more

Another miss in win

Boswell made five of six extra-point attempts during Sunday's 41-17 win over the Falcons.

Analysis: A foot issue earlier in the week was probably not the reason Boswell missed his first attempt of the day, as he connected on all the rest. Still, something seems off for the usually reliable kicker, who has now missed three extra points and three of six field goals through five games this season. He'll try to right the ship in Week 6 against the Bengals, who allow opposing kickers an average of 8 points per game this season.

Practices in full

Boswell (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Chris Adamski of Triblive.com reports.

Analysis: Boswell exited Wednesday's practice due to a foot issue, but he now appears unhindered by the injury. The veteran kicker appears on track to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Scores six points in loss

Boswell converted on both field-goal tries (34, 39) during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: This season has gotten off to a rough start for Boswell, and this was his first game without a missed kick. He has not scored more than six points in any game and next faces the Falcons, against which opposing kickers have averaged 7.5 points in four games.

Looks awful in win

Boswell converted one of his two field goals and three of four extra-point attempts in Monday's 30-27 win over the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Through three games, Boswell has made just one of four field goals and has missed two extra-point attempts. Minnesota and Cleveland already replaced their kickers after shaky starts, so we'll have to watch if Pittsburgh brings anyone in this week. Even if Boswell keeps his job, he'll next face the Ravens, who have held opposing kickers to just five points per game this season.

Misses another field goal

Boswell missed his only field-goal attempt from 49 yards and went 3-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: It's been a shaky start to the season for Boswell, who is now 0-for-2 on field goal attempts. Both attempts have come from over 40 yards, so it isn't time for the Steelers to hit the panic button yet.

Missed FG results in tie

Boswell converted all three extra points but missed his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 21-21 tie against the Browns.

Analysis: Awful weather conditions and numerous turnovers limited Boswell's scoring opportunities all game. Still, he had a chance to win in overtime, only to push a 42-yard attempt wide left with 1:44 remaining. Boswell's fantasy value is volume dependent, which typically isn't an issue for the explosive Pittsburgh offense, but he'll face a tough opponent when they host Kansas City in Week 2.

Inks five-year deal

Boswell has signed a five-year contract with the Steelers, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Boswell, who earned Pro Bowl recognition last year after connecting on 35 of 38 field-goal attempts and 37 of 39 extra-point tries, is thus set to reprise his kicking duties for the Steelers for the foreseeable future. His fantasy prospects look strong for the coming season, thanks to the fact that he'll be working within a team context that features a prolific offense paced by the trio of Ben Roethlesberger, Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.

Boswell signed his restricted free agent tender from the Steelers on Thursday, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.

Analysis: The Steelers applied a second-round tender on the kicker before the March 14 deadline, all but assuring he'd be back in Pittsburgh for a fourth season. Putting pen to paper makes the transaction official. On the heels of a career-best 142-point campaign, Boswell is a candidate to put up a similar number behind an offense led by Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and likely Le'Veon Bell, who received the franchise tag for a second straight year.

The Steelers placed a second-round restricted free-agent tender on Boswell, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

Analysis: The move ensures Boswell will be back in Pittsburgh for one more season, as no team would be willing to surrender a second-round pick for the right to give him a contract. He'll be one of the top options at his position in fantasy drafts, coming off a 2017 campaign in which he converted 35 of 38 field-goal attempts and 37 of 39 extra-point tries. Boswell is one of the more reliable kickers in the league and is still attached to an elite offense.

Boswell converted six of six PATs in Sunday's 45-42 AFC divisional round loss to Jacksonville.

Analysis: This was a high-scoring affair, with both teams combing for 12 touchdowns. The difference in the game came on a 45-yard field goal by Josh Lambo with just under two minutes remaining. Boswell finished the season tied for fourth in scoring, and should be among the league leaders again next season.

Boswell, who was successful on all four PATs in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Browns, converted 37 of 39 PATS and 35 of 38 field-goals, with a long of 53 yards, in 16 games in 2017.

Analysis: Boswell improved significantly in terms of his accuracy, hitting on 92.1 percent of his field goal tries, compared to 84.0% last season. Pittsburgh's offense is one of the most dangerous in the league, averaging more than 25 points per game, providing ample scoring opportunities for Boswell, who is a restricted free agent in 2018.

Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts (34 and 36 yards) and both of his extra-point tries in Monday's 34-6 win over the Texans.

Analysis: Boswell has been one of the league's best kickers this season, missing just five of his 73 total attempts. His 138 points trail just two players.

Boswell made both field-goal attempts (34, 36) and all four PATs in Monday's 34-6 win at Houston.

Analysis: Few kickers have posted better numbers than Boswell this season but, for fantasy owners still playing in Week 17, consider that he has averaged just three PPG in his last two games against the Browns.

Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt (51) and all three PATs in Pittsburgh's 27-24 loss to New England on Sunday.

Analysis: No last-second heroics for Boswell this week, as the Steelers came up short in what might have been a preview of the AFC Championship game. Boswell has been a solid fantasy option most of the season, and has an attractive match up on Monday night against the Texans, who allow the second most points to opposing kickers.

Boswell made all four field-goal attempts (24, 43, 46, 52) and all three PATs in Pittsburgh's 39-38 win over Baltimore on Sunday.

Analysis: After winning the past two games as time expired, Boswell came through in the clutch again, kicking his fourth field goal of the night with just 42 seconds remaining. He'll face New England, which has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers, in Week 15. In the two games he has faced them in his career, including a 2016 playoff game, Boswell has missed 2-of-6 field-goal tries and 1-of-2 PATs.

Boswell was perfect on his three field-goals (30, 37, 38) and both PATs in Monday night's 23-20 win over the Bengals.

Analysis: Just as he did in Week 12 against the Packers, Boswell nailed the winning kick as the clock ran out, allowing the Steelers to keep pace with the Patriots for the best record in the AFC. Boswell wishes he could play Cincinnati every week, hitting all 24 field goal attempts and 11 extra point tries in six regular season games and one playoff game in his career. He has now kicked multiple field goals in five of the last six games.

Boswell converted 2-of-3 PAT and his lone field-goal (53) in Pittsburgh's 31-28 win over Green Bay Sunday night.

Analysis: After missing just one PAT in 78 tries during the first 35 games of his career, Boswell has missed two of his last eight attempts in the past three games. Still, he was able to redeem himself by making a 53-yard field goal, tying the record for the longest field goal in Heinz Field history, as time ran out to secure the win. His next game is against the Bengals, who he burned for 17 points earlier this season, and who allow the third most points to opposing kickers.

Boswell made all four field-goal tries (26, 28, 41, 50) and all four PATs in Thursday's 40-17 win over the Titans.

Analysis: After what was arguably the worst game of his career in Week 10, Boswell rebounded nicely with a monster performance, rewarding fantasy owners who stuck with him. Pittsburgh hosts a Packers team in Week 12 that's allowing kickers 8.3 points per game.
