McLaughlin missed his only field-goal attempt and made two PATs in Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
McLaughlin once again connected with the upright in Week 2, missing a 38-yard field goal in the third quarter. The kicker has now missed two field goals and one extra-point try over the first two games of the year, and he'll look to get back on track in the team's Week 3 matchup with the Jets on Sunday.

McLaughlin went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-3 on his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
McLaughlin missed a 44-yard attempt wide left in the third quarter and then doinked an extra point off the left upright near the end of the fourth quarter that would have put the Bucs up by four points. Instead, it left the door open for the Falcons to potentially tie the game late, though Younghoe Koo missed a 44-yard field goal with six seconds left. McLaughlin figures to be busy this season in the Bucs' high-powered offense. He made 30 of 32 field-goal tries last season and 54 of 56 extra-point attempts.

McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 45 and 23 yards and also converted his one extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran kicker already looked in mid-season form during his first taste of game action since the wild-card loss to the Commanders in January. McLaughlin tied a career high with 32 made field goals and posted a career-best 93.8 percent conversion rate on field-goal attempts across 17 regular-season games in 2024, and he once again projects for plenty of scoring opportunities in the coming season while attached to the team's Baker Mayfield-led offense.

McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 52 and 25 yards and knocked home all three extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished the 2024 regular season having gone 30-for-32 (93.8 percent) on field goals and 54-for-56 on PATs.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran kicker managed to inch past his previous career-best field-goal accuracy rate of 93.5 percent, which he'd established just last season, with Sunday's perfect tally. McLaughlin did misfire on extra-point tries for the first time since the 2021 season, but he'll enter the postseason as one of the most trusted kickers in the field of 14 teams and remains under contract with the Buccaneers through the 2026 season.

McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 23 and 34 yards and connected on all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The Buccaneers' offense was impressively efficient throughout Sunday's lopsided victory, but McLaughlin was the beneficiary in the form of a couple of short field-goal tries on the rare occasions Baker Mayfield didn't cap off a possession with a touchdown pass. With his third straight perfect tally on field goals, McLaughlin is now sitting on a 93.3 percent success rate in that department for the season, just two-tenths of a percentage point behind last season's career-best figure heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Saints.

McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt (45 yards) and all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 26-24 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
McLaughlin's one field-goal try came late in the third quarter and reduced the Buccaneers' deficit to nine points at the time. The perfect night pushed McLaughlin's field-goal success rate to 92.9 percent -- just a shade behind the career-best 93.5 percent figure he mustered in 2023 -- with his only two misses coming from 50-plus yards. Meanwhile he's already at career highs in PATs (47) and made extra points (45), leaving him in line to potentially hit or eclipse the 50-mark in each category with two games remaining.

McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 22, 37, 42 and 43 yards and knocked home all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran kicker racked up 16 total points in the surprisingly comfortable victory, kicking a pair of field goals apiece in the first and second half. The four made field goals tied a season high for McLaughlin, who'd just set that mark in Week 13 against the Panthers. McLaughlin is up to a 92.6 percent success rate on field goals and 95.5 percent on PATs heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys that should also afford him plenty of scoring opportunities.

McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and connected on all four extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran kicker failed to log a single field-goal attempt for the first time all season and only the fourth time during his 32 combined regular-season and postseason appearances with the Buccaneers. McLaughlin did boost his accuracy on PATs to 95.0 percent with his quartet of makes in as many tries Sunday, setting a new career high with 38 extra points in the process. McLaughlin could be busier on the field-goal front in a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers, considering Los Angeles' typically stingy defense and the fact the Bolts have allowed a league-low 41.9 percent red-zone touchdown success rate.

McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 27, 26, 51 and 30 yards, misfired on a 55-yard try and knocked home both PATs in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
As his final line corroborates, McLaughlin was a major factor in Tampa Bay's victory, although ironically, he came one play from being the culprit in a potential loss. McLaughlin knocked a 55-yard try wide left at the end of the Buccaneers' first drive in overtime, but he subsequently made good on his chance to atone following Chuba Hubbard's fumble by drilling a game-winning 30-yard attempt. McLaughlin has now missed a kick in consecutive games -- he failed to convert one of his four PATs in Week 12 -- for the first time in his near two-season stint in Tampa Bay, but he'll remain an elite option for a fantasy-friendly home matchup against the Raiders in Week 14.

McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt (23 yards) and made three of four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
McLaughlin drilled a chip shot field-goal try early in the second quarter but went on to miss his second PAT attempt of the season following Baker Mayfield's 10-yard touchdown run just before halftime. McLaughlin pushed his success rate on field goals to a career-best 94.4 percent with Sunday's sole make, and he could be in for an even busier afternoon in a Week 13 road matchup against the vulnerable Panthers defense.
