Overview
- Borregales pushed a 40-yard field goal wide right in the Patriots’ 24-19 win at Miami, a miss that came during the second quarter of the game on Sunday, Nov. 1.
- Head coach Mike Vrabel said he has "a lot of confidence" in Borregales and warned the misses "need to get corrected," adding that the team must make its kicks.
- Through eight games Borregales is 10-of-13 on field goals and 20-of-21 on extra points, a 76.9 percent FG rate that ranks near the bottom of qualifying kickers this season.
- No roster move has been announced and Vrabel did not say he would bring in competition this week, leaving the Patriots with the Nov. 8 home game against Green Bay as a live evaluation opportunity.
- Borregales’ decline follows preseason struggles and a stronger rookie year (84.4 percent in 2025), and his misses clustered in the 40–49 yard range highlight a specific reliability gap that could prompt the team to explore alternatives if it continues.
