Missing field goals in preseason Gay missed field goal attempts from 56 and 64 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Arizona. He converted all three extra-point attempts.

Impact Gay is just 1-for-4 in field-goal attempts in two preseason games, also missing a 36-yard attempt in the first preseason game. His only make is from 26 yards. We wouldn't be too worried about missing two field goals longer than 50 yards, but Gay signed one of the largest contracts in the league for a kicker (four-year, $22.5 million deal) to make long kicks.
