Makes one field goal

Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted his lone extra-point try in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.

Analysis: Carlson had a quiet day as the Raiders struggled to move the ball on offense. The veteran kicker has now made 30 field goals this season, tied for the third-most of all kickers. Despite his minimal involvement against the Steelers, Carlson remains a must-start heading into a Week 17 matchup with the 49ers.

Opens scoring with 49-yard FG

Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Despite the Raiders putting up 30 points on the Pats, Carlson attempted less than three field goals in a contest for the first time since Week 10, though he nailed his lone effort from 49 yards on the game's first scoring play Sunday. He's now slated to face a more challenging environment on the road against the Steelers with sub-freezing temperatures expected Saturday night in Pittsburgh.

Finally misses at Allegiant Stadium

Carlson made two of three field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: Carlson's first career miss inside Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium came at the end of the first half Sunday when his 52-yard attempt sailed wide left. He connected from 55 yards earlier in the second quarter, but he's now missed from 50-plus in back-to-back contests.

Misses 56-yard attempt in OT

Carlson converted two of three field-goal attempts and added four extra points in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.

Analysis: Carlson finally missed from 50-plus for the first time this season at quite an inopportune time when his 56-yard attempt sailed wide right to end the Raiders' first overtime possession, but the defense managed to force Seattle into an immediate three-and-out to ultimately set up Josh Jacobs' game-winning run. Carlson has missed a field-goal attempt in back-to-back weeks now, but he's still 23 of 25 on the season for a 92-percent success rate.

Rebounds from 46-yard miss

Carlson made three of four field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Carlson missed his first field-goal attempt since Week 9 of the 2021 season when his 46-yard effort sailed wide right in the early stages of the second quarter. However, he rebounded from the rare mistake in a massive way with connections from 52, 57 and 25 yards in the second half to ultimately send the Raiders to overtime. Carlson hadn't made, nor even attempted three field goals in a game since Week 5 prior to Sunday's victory.

Adds pair of extra points

Carlson converted two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

Analysis: Carlson has attempted just three total field goals across four games since the Raiders' bye week, so the team hopefully finds more opportunities for Carlson to showcase his range Week 11 in Denver.

Makes two 38-yarders in loss

Carlson booted a pair of 38-yard field goals and converted two point-after attempts in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Analysis: Carlson remains perfect on field-goal attempts this season as he rebounded Sunday from a zero-point showing in Week 8 when the Raiders were shut out by the Saints. He'll hope for Las Vegas' offense to get back on track Week 10 with the Colts in town.

Spectator in Week 8

Carlson did not register any point-after tries or field-goal attempts during Las Vegas' 24-0 loss at New Orleans on Sunday.

Analysis: Besides sending the second-half kickoff into the end-zone for a touchback, Carlson did not participate in a game where the Raiders came in as road favorites and were subsequently shut out by 2021 second-rounder Pete Werner and company. For his part, Carlson has been basically automatic this season, converting on all 16 of his field-goal attempts and 13-of-14 point-after tries, but he'll need his offense to find more success in order to have a chance at bouncing back in Week 9 when his team travels to Jacksonville.

Nails 50-yarder in win

Carlson made his only field-goal attempt from 50 yards and he added five extra points in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.

Analysis: Carlson is now a perfect 5-for-5 on 50-plus yard field goals this season, and he's yet to miss a field-goal attempt from any distance through the Raiders' first six games. He'll be kicking indoors at New Orleans in Week 8 as he looks to extend this impressive run of reliability.

Adds to league-leading point total

Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts and converted a pair of extra-point tries in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: Carlson was good from 47, 50 and 53 yards as he remains automatic on field-goal attempts this season, still without a miss since Week 9 of the 2021 campaign. He currently paces the NFL in points with 53 through five games as the Raiders head into their bye week.

Racks up 14 points in win

Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and converted two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 32-23 win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Carlson missed an extra point after the Raiders scored their first defensive touchdown since 2019, but he's now a perfect 12 for 12 on field-goal attempts through the first four games of the season. He'll look to remain a reliable fantasy asset at Kansas City in Week 5 on Monday Night Football.

The Raiders are now slated to host the Cardinals in a Week 2 matchup that could have the highest game total on the Sunday slate.

Sep 13, 2022 8:02 AM EST


Nails OT winner

Carlson converted all five of his field-goal attempts and added two extra points in Sunday's 35-32 overtime win over the Chargers.

Analysis: Carlson had one of the best games of his entire career on Sunday Night Football as he ultimately sent the Chargers home without a playoff berth, thanks in part to multiple 40-plus yard makes in overtime alone as the Raiders advance to play in Cincinnati on Saturday. Carlson wraps up his stellar 2021 regular season with a career-high 40 field goals made on 43 attempts, also tallying 30 extra points on 33 tries.
