NFL kickers are 167-for-170 from inside 37 yards. Trey Smack had 2 of the 3 misses Sunday.

Once an NFL offense gets inside the 20-yard line, coming away with at least a field goal should be just about a sure thing. It wasn’t for the Packers on Sunday in Detroit.

Packers kicker Trey Smack missed a 26-yard field goal wide right, and had a 35-yard field goal blocked, in the Packers’ 20-17 loss to the Lions.

How rare is it for an NFL kicker to miss field goals that short? So far this season, NFL kickers are 167-for-170 on field goals from inside 37 yards. Smack had two of the three misses on Sunday, and the other was a 23-yarder by Bears kicker Cairo Santos that was blocked by the Vikings in Week 2.

The last time a kicker missed two field goals of 35 yards or shorter in the same game was seven years ago, when Patriots kicker Mike Nugent missed two in a game against the Browns. Nugent was cut afterward.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur says Smack won’t get cut. At least not yet. But it’s safe to say Smack’s seat is getting hot.
