2023 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 2023, Matt Gay (4) led NFL kickers in upright and crossbar misses, ahead of Greg Zuerlein (2) and Younghoe Koo (2). 16 kickers qualify.
