KICKING
| Player | POS | PTS |
|---|---|---|
 Jeff Reed | K | 8 |
Kicking points are complete; field-goal makes and attempts are present on 1,054 of 450,176 rows and are not shown.
A player appears under a heading only if he recorded something there, so these tables are shorter than the roster that dressed. A dash is an absent figure rather than a recorded zero. Sacks carry a half, which is why that column shows a decimal, and the sack column in the passing table is times the passer was sacked, not sacks he made. There is no scoring summary or drive chart here: the play log carries no field position, no down and no distance, so a drive cannot be reconstructed and one is not guessed at. Where the play-type panel is missing, this fixture predates the play log, which begins in 2020. Where a box score is missing entirely, no per-player line was published for it.
