Earlier, I asked if anyone was going to feel good about him trotting onto the field at Gillette Stadium in January to kick a 45 yarder to win the game... I still don't see how anyone would.
I'll say yes. Nugent has kicked at an 88% rate in December and January for his career and 81% in away games. In December and January while he was in the AFC East, he was 92% in December and January. He is 85% in away games on attempts between 40 and 49 yards.
I would say the stadiums that he has kicked in... (The old Meadowlands, Buffalo, and Gillette as a Jet) and (Heinz, and Cleveland as a Bengal) have not been kicker friendly. Most of those stadiums are famously windy and Gillette, Heinz and Cleveland have or had grass surfaces.
