Rams News: How many kicks did Harrison Mevis miss?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Harrison Mevis filled in during the 2025 season to become the Los Angeles Rams kicker out of necessity, and he answered the call by going 12-13 on field goals<\/a> (plus 6-6 in the postseason) and a clean 39-39 on extra points. Not bad for a \u201cfill-in\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mevis\u2019s rise with the Rams is an interesting one, but has he done enough to be around for another year? I would guess fans think so, but I don\u2019t know what the organization is thinking in terms of keeping Mevis, or looking at the draft or free agency.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an interesting spot for the Rams who during the 2024 season had appeared to find their kicker for at least the short-term (if not longer) with Joshua Karty. But in 2025, Karty\u2019s kicking was unstable and hazardous for the Rams and their ability to win, so they replaced him with first-year NFL kicker, Harrison Mevis.<\/p>\n

Did the change work? I\u2019ll redirect you to the numbers I shared above, he was basically light\u2019s out except for one missed kick against the Seattle Seahawks in their Week 16 matchup. The Rams blew a 16-point lead and the defense gave up three 2-point conversions. Yes, Mevis missed a kick that game, but blaming Mevis for that loss seems a stretch.<\/p>\n

Other than that one miss, Mevis was flawless.<\/p>\n

Unless I am missing something, his future with the Rams and the NFL is still to be determined, so this is a story that should be worth monitoring as all 32 teams head towards the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Happy Monday, thank you for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great day! You know the drill, please comment!<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rams trotted out two kickers in 2025: Joshua Karty and Harrison Mevis. Karty flamed out in his second season in L.A. after missing several kicks and having a few more blocked, while Mevis stepped in and played admirably during the Rams\u2019 long playoff run.<\/p>\n

Fansided\u2019s Adam Fromal<\/a> introduced a way to evaluate kickers, though: Kick Value Added (KVA), which \u201cmeasures how much value a kicker actually adds (or costs) relative to league expectations from the same distances across the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA future franchise quarterback? A shutdown cornerback? A bookend franchise offensive tackle? The Los Angeles Rams have four draft picks firmly embedded in the first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft. But the team may believe that the needs demand veteran plug-and-play players. General manager Les Snead hinted as much in discussing the scenario <\/a>of MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

And yes, Stafford will be back<\/a>. And the offseason may be shaping up for Snead to shock the NFL with a blockbuster trade<\/a>. If that happens, he will certainly be willing to cough up picks for a player.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cDraft stat of the day: the Rams haven\u2019t used a first-round pick on a defensive back since 2006, a streak that is 8 years longer than any other team in the NFL,\u201d Yates writes. \u201cWith two first-round picks and a need for corners, this feels like a logical year to snap that streak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in 2006, the Rams took Tye Hill with the 15th overall pick, which was the last time that the Rams took a defensive back in the first round. He played just three years with the Rams, recording four interceptions and 16 pass breakups in 28 games.<\/p>\n

But, with a need at cornerback and safety, the Rams cannot let the 2026 offseason go by without addressing those positions, especially cornerback.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harrison Mevis filled in during the 2025 season to become the Los Angeles Rams kicker out of necessity,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":756350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[7,1014,58,4200,2444,2611,6,424],"class_list":{"0":"post-756349","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-los-angeles","10":"tag-los-angeles-rams","11":"tag-los-angeles-rams-news","12":"tag-losangeles","13":"tag-losangelesrams","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-rams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116081378341451512","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=756349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/756350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=756349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=756349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=756349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
