2017 NFL Wide Left Misses Leaders

Field goals that missed to the left of the uprights, taken from the play description. College play-by-play does not record the direction of a miss, so this is an NFL stat.

Left and right miss counts together can hint at a kicker's tendency, but small counts are noisy. In 2017, Zane Gonzalez (5) led NFL kickers in wide left misses, ahead of Blair Walsh (4) and Ka'imi Fairbairn (3). 28 kickers qualify.

Final 2017 regular-season numbers, updated October 23, 2026.
