After a rocky start to the season, Jason Myers has reclaimed his starting role as the kicker for the Seattle Seahawks. After missing four field goals in the first three games of the season, the Seahawks made the decision to bench Myers and bring in veteran kicker Sam Ficken.
However, after Ficken missed two field goals in the Seahawks’ Week 5 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the team decided to give Myers another chance. In Week 6, Myers responded with a perfect 4-for-4 performance on field goals, including a game-winning kick from 42 yards out with just over a minute left in the game.
Myers has been a reliable kicker for the Seahawks since joining the team in 2018. In his first season with the team, he made 33 of his 36 field goal attempts and was named to the Pro Bowl. He followed that up with another strong season in 2019, making 33 of his 38 attempts.
Myers’ strong performance against the Cardinals in Week 6 proved that he is still capable of being a reliable kicker for the Seahawks. His ability to bounce back from early season struggles and reclaim his starting role is a testament to his resilience and dedication to the team.
The Seahawks will need Myers to continue his strong play if they are going to make a run at the playoffs this season. With a 5-1 record, they are currently atop the NFC West standings and look poised to make a deep run in the postseason. With Myers back in form, they have a reliable kicker who can help them win close games.
It’s been an up-and-down season for Jason Myers, but it looks like he has put his early season struggles behind him and reclaimed his starting role with the Seattle Seahawks. With his strong play, he has proven that he is still one of the top kickers in the NFL and will be a key part of the Seahawks’ success this season.
