Daniel Carlson: Everything you need to know

Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and didn't try an extra point in Sunday's 14-12 victory over Kansas City. He finished the 2025-26 campaign having gone 22-of-27 on FG attempts and 21-for-22 on PAT tries. There were no touchdowns in Sunday's plodding season finale -- both Carlson and KC kicker Harrison Butker made four field goals, and the winning margin came by way of a Las Vegas safety. Carlson was able to show off his leg strength on the game-winning FG from 60 yards out with less than 10 seconds remaining, and he also booted a 55-yarder earlier in the fourth quarter. The Raiders scored the fewest points in the league this season, thus limiting Carlson's opportunities, and his 81 percent success rate on FG tries was his lowest mark since 2019 (and represented the fifth straight season his conversion rate has dropped). Carlson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent, and while he figures to be a starting kicker in the NFL next season, it's not certain that he'll be back with Las Vegas.

Carlson made his lone field-goal attempt and only PAT in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants. Carlson's field goal was good from 42 yards. Kicking in Las Vegas' anemic offense, Carlson has made just 18 of 23 field-goal tries and 21 of 22 PATs across 16 games this season. The tanking Raiders again figure to try hard to lose in Week 18 to the Chiefs.

Carlson converted all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans. The Auburn product has now gone without a field-goal attempt in three of Las Vegas' last four games. On the season, Carlson has made 17 of 22 field-goal tries and 20 of 21 point-after attempts through 15 contests. His next opportunity to score will likely come in the Week 17 matchup against the Giants.
