2017 NFL Field Goals Missed Leaders

Every attempt that did not go through the uprights, including blocked kicks. A high count can mean a kicker was struggling or that he was asked to try many long, low-percentage kicks.

Always read it with attempts: missing 6 of 40 is a very different season from missing 6 of 12. In 2017, Phil Dawson (8) led NFL kickers in field goals missed, ahead of Brandon McManus (8) and Blair Walsh (8). 40 kickers qualify.
