It’s officially Jason Myers season in Seattle - and not just because he’s been automatic from long range. The Seahawks kicker is putting together one of the most impressive campaigns we’ve seen from a specialist in years, and the national spotlight is finally catching up.
After scoring all 18 of Seattle’s points in last week’s win over the Indianapolis Colts, Myers has gone from under-the-radar reliable to headline-worthy. He’s appeared on the Pat McAfee Show, been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November, and even broke the Seahawks’ franchise record for most field goals made in a single season. That’s not just a hot streak - that’s a body of work.
And if you’re into Fantasy Football, Myers’ production is downright absurd. He’s racked up 177.0 fantasy points so far - more than household names like Nico Collins, Chase Brown, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson.
If you were to slot him into different fantasy positions, he’d rank as the 20th-best quarterback, 15th-best running back, 7th-best wide receiver, and 2nd-best tight end. That’s not a typo - that’s a kicker.
But as impressive as the accolades and fantasy dominance are, there’s another milestone within reach that could cement Myers’ 2025 season in the NFL history books. According to Pro Football Talk, Myers is on pace to break the league’s all-time single-season record for field goals made.
That mark - 44 field goals - was set by David Akers back in 2011 with the San Francisco 49ers. Myers currently sits at 37-for-42 on the season, leading the league in both field goals made and attempted.
With three games left on the schedule, he needs just eight more to break the record.
It’s not out of the question. He’s averaging just over three field goals per game, and if Seattle’s red zone offense continues to stall, Myers could very well be called on early and often down the stretch.
Now, here’s where things get a little complicated. For Seahawks fans, watching Myers chase history would be a thrill.
But it also might be a symptom of a larger issue - namely, the offense’s inability to finish drives with touchdowns. If Myers is kicking four or five field goals a game, that likely means Seattle is settling for three instead of punching it in for six.
So while a record-breaking season would be a feather in his cap, it might also reflect continued struggles in the red zone.
There’s also the bigger picture to consider. If Seattle wants to make a serious playoff push - and maybe even grab the NFC’s top seed - they’ll need more than just a reliable kicker.
They’ll need to start converting red zone trips into touchdowns. Ideally, they’d find a way to do both: win out, secure home-field advantage, and let Myers break the record along the way.
But that might be a tall order.
One thing’s for sure: Myers’ leg will be tested again this week when the Seahawks face the Rams on Thursday Night Football. In their previous matchup, Myers went 4-for-5, with his only miss coming on a 61-yard attempt - hardly a chip shot.
So as we head into the final stretch of the regular season, keep an eye on No. 5 in navy and action green. Whether it’s from 30 yards or 60, Jason Myers is quietly chasing greatness - one kick at a time.
