Wil Lutz has made 113 straight extra points, most in the NFL since the 2015 rule change

It's been three years since Broncos kicker Wil Lutz missed an extra point.

Since the 2015 rule change, Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has maintained an impressive streak of 113 consecutive successful extra points, surpassing the previous record of 112 set by Justin Tucker. Lutz, now 32, has not missed an extra point since the game against the Bills on November 11, 2023. Prior to joining the Broncos, Lutz played for the Ravens, where he was initially overlooked due to the presence of Justin Tucker, considered the best kicker in the NFL at the time.

However, after impressing then-Ravens coach John Harbaugh, Lutz was recommended by Harbaugh to then-Broncos coach Sean Payton, who later traded for Lutz. Lutz's faith in his abilities has proven to be well-founded, as he aims to make every extra point throughout the season, regardless of whether it ends with a record-breaking total.
