Cameron Dicker Misses 32-Yarder and PAT in Chargers’ 20-16 Loss That Ends Colts’ Hopes

He entered the game as the NFL’s most accurate kicker with a perfect record on short attempts.

Overview

  • Dicker pushed a 32-yard field goal wide right just before halftime, leaving Houston ahead 14-3 at the break.
  • He later hooked a fourth-quarter extra point after a touchdown that cut the deficit to 20-16 with just over three minutes left.
  • The four points left on the field equaled the final margin as Los Angeles fell 20-16 to the streaking Texans at SoFi Stadium.
  • Dicker began the night at 94.1% on career field goals (127 of 135) and had never missed from inside 40 yards, with a long extra-point streak also intact.
  • The result eliminated the Colts from playoff contention, prompting a wave of frustrated social media reactions that included unverified accusations about Dicker’s motives.
