Bills K Dan Carpenter went 4 for 4 in the 27-20 loss to the New York Jets in week 3. |
Buffalo Bills kicker Dan Carpenter has been virtually automatic this season. After rookie 6th-round pick Dustin Hopkins injured his groin (IR), the Bills turned to the veteran Carpenter.
The former University of Montana standout signed with Buffalo after being released by the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals and the New York Jets. History showed that Carpenter had a cannon for a leg, but wasn't always up to par in the consistency department. With a career long of 60-yards and a field goal percentage of 82.6, special teams coach Danny Crossman was happy to acquire the 27-year-old.
Since being in Buffalo, Carpenter has gone 12 for 13 with a long of 55. He will face his former team this Sunday as the Bills take on the Dolphins in Miami.
Carpenter may have earned his spot on the Bills' roster for many years to come.
