Vinatieri has been called &#8220;Automatic Adam&#8221; for his accuracy and &#8220;Iceman&#8221; for his ability to stay calm under pressure. He has made some of the most important field goals in NFL history, including two game-winning kicks in the final seconds of Super Bowls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stats<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Games- 365<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams- New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FGA- 715<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FGM- 599<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Why It&#039;s Almost Impossible to Kick a 90-Yard Field Goal | WIRED\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t0zBnMjxDLg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><b>Morten Andersen<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is one of the select few players to be named to two NFL All-Decade Teams (the 1980s and 1990s). Overall, he made 565 of 709 field goal tries and 849 of 859 point-after attempts. He led his club in scoring 22 times, the NFL in field goals in 1987, the NFC in scoring in 1992, and he had the most field goals of any kicker in any conference in 1985, 1987, and 1995.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stats<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Games- 382<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> N<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ew Orleans Saints<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Atlanta Falcons<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FGA- 709<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FGM- 565<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Gary Anderson<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has won the title twice, in 2015 and 2016.
