Fans of playoff-bound teams have enough to worry about at this time of year. They shouldn't have to wonder if their kicker will, say, doink a 43-yarder off the right upright and the crossbar in the final seconds of the fourth quarter and shatter their Super Bowl dreams...

The least we can do is make sure they're prepared for it if it happens. So Gridiron Digest is here to answer the question no one dares to ask: Will your kicker let you down in the playoffs?

Justin Tucker, Baltimore Ravens: No.

Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers: Crosby is 26-of-29 on postseason field goals and a perfect 59-of-59 on postseason extra points. He's among the least of the Packers' concerns.

Wil Lutz, New Orleans Saints: Worried about Lutz kicking outdoors? Don't be: He is 41-of-48 (85.4 percent) on outdoor field goals for his career.

Greg Zuerlein, Los Angeles Rams: Zuerlein went just 2-of-5 on field goals in his one career road game against the Miami Dolphins. This is a big deal because the Super Bowl is in Miami, people! Eh, on second thought, perhaps we should cross that bridge when we get to it.

Robbie Gould, San Francisco 49ers: Gould, who is perfect in the postseason on both field goals (8-of-8) and extra points (20-of-20) over his 15-year career, returned to the field on Sunday after missing three weeks with a quad injury. That should calm any nerves the team had over now-released rookie replacement Chase McLaughlin, who you might remember missed a 47-yarder in overtime against the Seahawks because the moment was "too big" for him. (It should be noted, though, that McLaughlin also hit a 47-yarder a few minutes earlier to force overtime. That moment must not have been too big for him. Moments must come in lots of sizes.)

Chris Boswell, Pittsburgh Steelers: Boswell is a perfect 15-of-15 on career playoff field-goal attempts, though he has missed a pair of extra points. Also, if the Steelers reach the playoffs, some sort of chaos magic is at work, meaning Boswell will acquire the power to drill 75-yarders.

Stephen Hauschka, Buffalo Bills: Opposing kickers are now 10-of-18 and a remarkable 7-of-15 from beyond 30 yards against the Bills. So the question isn't whether the Bills can rely on Hauschka; it's whether the Bills can rely on opposing kickers to screw up when they need them to.

Harrison Butker, Kansas City Chiefs: Butker is just 2-of-5 beyond 50 yards this season, and kicking misadventures (including a botched snap that turned into a blooper-reel throw by holder Dustin Colquitt) played a major part in the loss to the Titans. Butker is good enough to kick his way out of any mini-slump (he had a 48-yarder Sunday) but also just inexperienced and erratic enough to prompt Chiefs fans to reach for the hyperventilation bag.

Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks: He kicked that overtime game-winner against the 49ers a few weeks ago, so he should be fine. Thanks for the reliable young kicker, New York Jets!

Ka'imi Fairbairn, Houston Texans: Effective but young and untested. If he does miss a key playoff field goal, Bill O'Brien will trade two high draft picks in the offseason for Matt Prater.

Dan Bailey, Minnesota Vikings: Bailey is the fifth-most accurate kicker in NFL history. He's also the Vikings kicker, meaning that he's cursed to stomp on your heart in the playoffs.

Ryan Succop, Tennessee Titans: He has struggled since coming off IR, but he's your basic veteran kicker when healthy. And if anything goes wrong, the Titans can always turn back to (gulp) Cody Parkey.

Brett Maher, Dallas Cowboys: Jason Garrett auditioned several kickers after Maher missed one field goal and had a second one blocked on Thanksgiving, but he ultimately decided that he was better off with Maher's safe mediocrity than he would be with a new hire. In other words, Garrett is treating Maher the way Jerry Jones treats Garrett. Maher is reliable inside 30 yards, at least; heaven knows Garrett gives him plenty of practice.

Nick Folk, New England Patriots: The Patriots employed just two kickers during a stretch from the days of Bill Parcells and Drew Bledsoe until Week 4 of this season. They have gone threw three of them since, re-signing Folk this weekend after getting beaten by the Colts to the waiver punch for Chase "The Moment's Too Big" McLaughlin. Scouring free-agent lists and hosting tryouts for kickers is almost certainly making the veins in Bill Belichick's temples throb, and we are here for that.

Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles: If the Eagles somehow make the playoffs after this carnival sideshow of a season, only to lose on a missed field goal, that's just the universe correcting itself.

Austin Seibert, Cleveland Browns: See the Eagles comment.

Eddy Pineiro, Chicago Bears: LOL.

Adam Vinatieri, Indianapolis Colts: He was out Sunday with a knee injury, and McLaughlin hit a 50-yarder and a 19-yarder in his place, also missing a 47-yarder. Now the Patriots are just waiting for the Colts to release Vinatieri so he can kick nine straight field goals for them in the playoffs and Super Bowl.
