The news is not all terrible. Detroit's Matt Prater, who has missed an extra point and three field goals this season, hit a 58-yard field goal at the end of regulation to force overtime against the Vikings last Sunday. But only two kickers have managed to entirely resist the pressure: Indianapolis' ageless Adam Vinatieri and Baltimore's Justin Tucker, who are both perfect on field-goal attempts and extra points this season. Matt Bryant, the Falcons' 41-year-old kicker, is 31 of 31 on extra points and 20 of 21 on field-goal tries. Bryant said he has always approached every kick the same. Even before the extra point was lengthened, Bryant imagined them as 50-yard field goals so the kick would feel the same way, no matter the length. He still uses extra points to prepare himself for field goals, although there have been games when the 33-yard extra point was his longest kick of the day. He does not want to speculate about what is bothering other kickers.
