2017 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 2017, Phil Dawson (2) led NFL kickers in upright and crossbar misses, ahead of Kai Forbath (2) and Ka'imi Fairbairn (2). 17 kickers qualify.
