MATT PRATER NEWS

Connects on all five kicks Prater nailed both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 33-22 victory at Chicago.

Impact In the Cardinals' last game back in Week 11 at Seattle, Prater put together his worst showing of the season, missing a pair of field goals and an extra point. This time around, he had veritable layups when Arizona's offense faltered in the red zone, connecting from 33 and 25 yards. The nine-point effort ensured that Prater returned to the top 10 among kickers on a per-game basis (7.6, tied with the Eagles' Jake Elliott). Prater will aim to keep up the momentum next Monday versus the Rams.

Misses three kicks Prater missed two of three field-goal attempts and one of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Seahawks.

Impact Prater converted his first PAT before missing his second as well as a 39-yard field goal during the second quarter. Although he responded by hitting a 53-yard attempt to begin the second half, Prater subsequently missed a 36-yarder in the fourth. He ended by making another extra point, but overall it was Prater's worst performance of the campaign. Considering he'd gone five straight games without a miss prior to Sunday, Prater will aim to get back on track when the Cardinals return from their bye to face the Bears in Week 13.
