2021 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 2021, Mason Crosby (2) led NFL kickers in upright and crossbar misses, ahead of Jason Sanders (2) and Matt Ammendola (2). 13 kickers qualify.
