Mike Nugent is the new kicker, I guess.
I know he's a veteran with decent career percentages. What has he done in big games?
Edit:
Looked it up.
In his career he has been in 5 playoff games. Never been on the winning side, from the looks of it, since it's never been more than 1 playoff game in a season.
He is 7-8 on field goals in the playoffs, with the sole miss coming in a blowout loss when he was on the Bengals playing against the Texans in 2011. He hasn't kicked in a playoff game since 2015.
He's 5-5 on XP in playoff games, though most of those were probably before they moved the XP distance back.
For his career, Nugent is 13-30 on FGA from 50+ yards.
He's 77-102 from 40-49 yards.
By comparison, Gostkowski is 25-35 from 50+ yards in his career.
Gostkowski is 96-124 from 40-49 yards in his career.
Overall, looks like a pretty huge downgrade.
