Scoring was at a minimum in the contest, and Bullock's 42-yard field goal with 8:10 remaining in the fourth quarter ended up providing the winning margin for the Giants. The Patriots had a chance to tie the game late in the period, but Chad Ryland missed a chip-shot 35-yard field goal with just six seconds on the clock. Though Bullock hasn't been tasked with much work since taking over for Graham Gano (knee) as the team's kicker in Week 9, he's yet to miss a kick, making all three of his field-goal tries and all seven of his extra-point attempts.

Scoring was at a minimum in the contest, and Bullock's 42-yard field goal with 8:10 remaining in the fourth quarter ended up providing the winning margin for the Giants. The Patriots had a chance to tie the game late in the period, but Chad Ryland missed a chip-shot 35-yard field goal with just six seconds on the clock. Though Bullock hasn't been tasked with much work since taking over for Graham Gano (knee) as the team's kicker in Week 9, he's yet to miss a kick, making all three of his field-goal tries and all seven of his extra-point attempts.
New York has already elevated Bullock three times this season, so he had to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. Bullock has been perfect so far for the Giants, converting both of his field-goal tries and all six extra-point attempts across three appearances, though he hasn't yet tried a single kick from 50+ yards out. New York also signed Cade York to the team's practice squad.
Bullock will return to the practice squad after making his only field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries during the team's win versus the Commanders on Sunday. The 33-year-old has already been elevated three times this season, so he will need to be signed to the active roster in order to play again. The team will now have to decide whether to sign Bullock or to go with Cade York for their upcoming matchup with the Patriots.
Bullock converted from 36 yards out midway through the fourth quarter for his second made field goal in as many attempts this season. New York surprisingly put up a hefty amount of points in the win, which allowed Bullock to pad his scoring total with four extra-points. The veteran hasn't been challenged with any long or pressure-packed kicks in his three games since taking over for Graham Gano (knee), but he also hasn't done anything negative to give New York reason to go in another direction.
Bullock has served as New York's kicker over the past two weeks with Graham Gano (knee) on injured reserve. He didn't get to attempt any field goals in his first contest, but Bullock connected on his only try -- a 40-yarder -- last week against Dallas. Given the struggles of the Giants' offense, Bullock isn't a particularly appealing option for fantasy managers ahead of Sunday's game versus Washington.
The Giants were shut out in the first half, but Bullock avoided a second straight goose egg with two point-after conversions and a 40-yard field goal after halftime. The veteran kicker made his 2023 debut last week in Las Vegas but didn't get to attempt a kick as New York was blown out by the Raiders. Bullock was placed on the practice squad after that game before being elevated ahead of Week 10, and the Giants also have Cade York on the roster, but given that he didn't have any issues against Dallas, there's a good chance Bullock retains the kicking job moving forward. Nonetheless, he's far from a reliable fantasy option given the poor state of New York's offense.
New York elevated Bullock from its practice squad Saturday, joining York on active roster after the latter was claimed off the Titans' practice squad this week in the wake of Graham Gano's (knee) IR stint. Bullock will get the first chance to sub in for Gano, which marks his second time kicking for the Giants. In his most recent action last season, Bullock made 17 of 20 field-goal attempts and all 28 point-after tries in 15 games for Tennessee.
