Ranking the Kickers Remaining in the NFL Playoffs
Kickers are often the afterthought -- until the spotlight hits them. Which playoff kicker has been the most reliable in 2016?

6. Dan Bailey, Dallas Cowboys

Stat Score Rank
Field Goal NEP 8.18 17
Field Goal NEP/Play 0.26 16
Late-Game NEP/Play 0.77 6


Dan Bailey was 27 for 32 on field goal attempts this season, same as Gostkowski, but he was perfect on 46 extra points. The bigger issue, perhaps, is that Bailey has secured at least 17.57 Field Goal NEP in each of his prior seasons and at least 26.34 Field Goal NEP from 2011 to 2014.

Bailey wasn't quite himself this season but was still 9 of 9 on both field goals and extra points after three quarters of play, securing 0.77 NEP per attempt, the best per-play mark of the remaining kickers.
