2022 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 2022, Greg Zuerlein (6) led NFL kickers in wide left misses, ahead of Evan McPherson (4) and Chris Boswell (4). 29 kickers qualify.
