Nick Folk’s Perfect Season Shines Brightest for the Jets
The New York Jets have had a difficult season across most metrics, but one player stands out as a bright spot: Kicker Nick Folk. Despite the team’s struggles, Folk has maintained an impressive streak of successful kicks, making him the NFL’s only kicker without a missed field goal in 2025.
Perfect Record and Team Standout
Nick Folk’s flawless kicking record this season is particularly notable given that he is one of the few bright spots for the Jets. As of October 24, 2025, Folk has converted all 14 field goals attempted, including a remarkable 5-for-5 on kicks beyond 50 yards. His perfect performance extends to extra points as well, although the Jets don’t score many touchdowns, resulting in only seven successful kicks so far.
History and Re-Signing
Nick Folk has deep roots with the Jets, having played for them from 2010 to 2016 before re-signing this season. His return to the team is proving to be one of the few positive moves in an otherwise challenging year for the Jets. At 40 years old, Folk’s experience and reliability have been crucial as the team navigates a difficult season.
Leaguewide Disappointment
The contrast between the Jets’ kicker’s perfect performance and the league’s overall struggles is stark. Every NFL team other than the Jets has missed at least one field goal this year, with even veteran kickers experiencing setbacks. Thursday night saw Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker miss his first field goal of the season, adding to the frustration.
The Jets’ perfect record in kicking speaks volumes about Nick Folk’s consistency and reliability. As the team continues to face challenges on the field, Folk’s flawless performance provides a glimmer of hope for fans and an important contribution to the team’s standings this season.
