"The first kicker selected in the 2025 NFL Draft (sixth round, No. 182 overall), Borregales hasn't exactly inspired a lot of confidence in his game in the pro ranks. After missing a 40-yard field goal during New England's Week 1 loss to Las Vegas, Borregales had a roller-coaster outing against the Dolphins. While Maye and the Patriots' offense started off strong with two touchdowns on their first two drives against Miami, the team only held a 12-0 lead after Borregales missed both extra-point opportunities."
"The kicker out of the University of Miami shook off his early struggles by hitting a 22-yard chip shot for three points at 1:56 of the second quarter - while also converting on the extra point following Antonio Gibson's 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth. Borregales saved his best for last, converting on a 53-yard field goal with just 1:51 left in the game to give New England a 33-27 lead"
The Patriots earned a 33-27 win at Hard Rock Stadium while questions remain about the roster. Drake Maye and the offense delivered a dominant performance but the defense has surrendered 300-plus passing yards in consecutive games. Rookie kicker Andy Borregales, a sixth-round 2025 draftee, missed a 40-yard field goal in Week 1 and missed two extra points early against the Dolphins. Borregales later converted a 22-yard field goal, an extra point after a kickoff return touchdown, and a critical 53-yard field goal with 1:51 remaining. The kicker also incurred a penalty for a kick that failed to reach the landing zone, indicating potential growing pains.
