2021 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 2021, Mason Crosby (9) led NFL kickers in field goals missed, ahead of Jason Sanders (8) and Matt Prater (7). 44 kickers qualify.
