Daniel Carlson Never Missed A Field Goal At Allegiant Stadium
Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson closed out the regular season with a remarkable game-winning field goal.
Carlson’s fifth and final field goal of the night capped off an extraordinary season in which he finished perfect at Allegiant Stadium.
“Oh, I'm pretty even-keeled. I think personality-wise, that’s kind of me. The experience has helped, for sure, just getting more and more of these," Carlson said.
"But for me, it's just doing the same thing whether I'm in practice or any other kick in that game was just as important.”
The Raiders closer went a perfect 19-for-19 at home.
Carlson converted four field goals inside 20 to 29 yards, seven within 30 to 39 yards, four from 40 to 49 yards, and a stunning four-for-four from 50 yards or more.
“It's definitely something I've tried to get a little more used to. That's what makes it so fun. Especially as a kicker, not that our job gets boring but the butterflies, the adrenaline, those big kicks, that's what makes it exciting. So, I'm just really blessed to be able to play the position I play and play for this team,” Carlson added.
Although he made all his field goal attempts, he did miss two extra-point attempts at home.
What a season it has been for Carlson, who had a career-best 23-straight field goals since Week 10 and set a franchise record of 40 made field goals in a season.
There were only two other kickers in the top 10 in field goals made to go perfect at home were Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens and Dustin Hopkins of the Los Angeles Chargers.
The future and stability in Las Vegas looks bright for the next four years with Carlson’s reliable boot.
