Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has earned the title of AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October, marking his second consecutive month receiving this honor. Boswell’s perfect accuracy throughout October contributed significantly to his recognition, as he successfully converted all 12 of his field goal attempts and hit each of his 10 extra point tries.
At 33, Boswell continues to be a dependable asset for the Steelers, showcasing consistency and precision. His longest kick of the month was a crucial 52-yarder in the Steelers’ Week 6 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, which highlighted his ability to come through in critical moments. The following week, Boswell was successful on seven kicking attempts in total during a matchup against the New York Jets, converting three field goals and four extra points—a season-high in a single game for him. In both Week 8 against the New York Giants and the Week 6 game against the Raiders, Boswell made six total kicks, connecting on four field goals and two extra points in each contest.
Boswell’s steady performance has placed him among the league’s top scorers. He currently ranks second in total points this season with 85, just behind Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert, who has 88 points. Both Boswell and Seibert are also tied for the most field goals made this season, each successfully converting 23 attempts. This impressive stat line reflects Boswell’s reliability and consistency, which have been vital to the Steelers’ special teams unit and overall success.
Boswell’s back-to-back Player of the Month awards demonstrate his high level of performance and solidify his reputation as one of the NFL’s top kickers. As the season progresses, Steelers fans and teammates alike will be counting on Boswell to continue his streak and contribute to Pittsburgh’s playoff push.
