2016 NFL Upright and Crossbar Misses Leaders
Kicks that struck the left upright, right upright or crossbar and did not go in, often called doinks. They are near-misses that are counted as misses.
A doink is close to luck in either direction, so treat a high count as a curiosity. In 2016, Dustin Hopkins (2) led NFL kickers in upright and crossbar misses, ahead of Cairo Santos (2) and Chandler Catanzaro (2). 17 kickers qualify.
