It’s been a hot minute since the Tennessee Titans have drilled a field goal through the uprights — and even longer since the team has attempted one.
The Titans haven’t attempted a field goal since Dec. 15’s 24-21 loss to the division rival Houston Texans, and haven’t made one since the team’s 31-17 home win over the Indianapolis Colts in Nissan Stadium in Week 13.
Tennessee is 8-of-18 on field goal attempts in the 2019 season, on pace for the worst season kicking since the 1983 Buffalo Bills made 42.3% of their kicks.
The Titans have found success in the red zone though, and are 11-for-11 in those situations over the past four games.
It’s been a tumultuous season for the team at placekicker, starting the year out with Cairo Santos and replacing him with Cody Parkey toward the middle of the season.
The Titans were expected to see improvement with Ryan Succop returning against the Carolina Panthers, but it’s clear Succop wasn’t at full capacity as he tried to play through the season, and Greg Joseph assumed his place in the second-to-last game of 2019 against the New Orleans Saints.
Tennessee will look to stay dominant on offense as it prepares to face the Kansas City Chiefs at 2:05 p.m. CST on Sunday in Arrowhead Stadium.
