Boswell kicked one field goal against the Cowboys and four against the Raiders, including a 52-yarder. He rounded out October with three field goals against both the Jets and Giants.

“We have a program that we follow,” said special teams coordinator Danny Smith. “He and I communicate on that. He has input as well, as all players do. I’m not saying I’ll do it, but I’ll listen. We arrive at a program. It’s been very good and it’s working. We’ve done some different things the last two years. We don’t kick 48 hours before game anymore. We started that last year.”

Boswell is 254-289 on field goal attempts since he joined the Steelers in 2015.
