Browns missed field goal: When was the last time Cade York missed a field goal?

Rookie kicker Cade York missed two decisive field goal attempts as the Cleveland Browns suffered a 28-30 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Browns have a 2-3 record this season and have suffered two consecutive losses. York missed two important attempts, both with only seconds remaining in the second and fourth quarters. Both kicks were long attempts of 45 and 54 yards, respectively.

It was the first time York had missed multiple field goals in a game and naturally, there were some concerns about the rookie kicker. After yesterday's match, the kicker spoke to the press in an interview:

“Gotta get over it. That’s my first time missing twice in a game, so it wasn’t like I went out there and was just going, ‘Oh, I just missed one before.’ I hit it hard, hit it strong. I just missed it."

Cade York's rookie NFL campaign so far

Cade York - Cleveland Browns v Carolina Panthers

The Browns selected Cade York with the 124th pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was regarded as the best kicker available in the draft. York proved himself in the Week 1 game against the Carolina Panthers, where he scored a 58-yard game-winning field goal.

Before the Week 5 game against the Chargers, York had scored every field goal he attempted. However, he has missed two PATs, so he is 13-of-15 for those. He missed one against both the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The first miss would have been disappointing, but reasonable for York. However, the second one would have hurt. It was a golden chance for the Browns in the fourth quarter and they could have won their third game of the season. With fans already turning against the kicker, he will need to maintain his composure.

The Browns face the New England Patriots on Sunday in Week 6. Standing at 2-3, they really need to come away with a win when the Patriots come to town. Cleveland sit below the Baltimore Ravens (3-2) and ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-4) in the AFC North.
