More unfortunate for the New England Patriots\u00a0\u2014 however \u2014\u00a0was rookie kicker Andres Borregales who missed two extra points for the Patriots after they scored a touchdown on their first two drives of the matchup at the Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dt2y99mst\">Borregales also missed a 40-yard field goal, which went wide right, in the Pats&#8217; season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_4tu70tlgv\">Despite the two missed extra points \u2014 new head coach Mike Vrabel and the Pats still managed to secure a 33-27 victory after quarterback Drake Maye threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_xnarbrhma\">Borregales won the job as the Patriots&#8217; starting kicker after competing against veteran John Parker Romo in training camp.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The good news for the Patriots: they\u2019ve scored a touchdown on each of their drives and are up 12-0 on the Dolphins <\/p>\n<p>The bad news for the Patriots: rookie K Andres Borregales has missed two extra points after already missing a field goal last week<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Field Yates (@FieldYates) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FieldYates\/status\/1967280160031605029?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ywb21ozac\">NFL owners voted 30-2 back in May of 2015 to push the kick back to the 15-yard line and leaves the two-point conversion at the two yard line.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_87hu1b5wu\">However, Borregales missing extra points at Hard Rock Stadium is extra concerning when one considers that the kicker is a University of Miami program alum. Hard Rock Stadium has been the home for the Hurricanes since 2008. While with Miami, Borregales was a semifinalist during his junior year for the Lou Groza Award, honoring the nation\u2019s top kicker.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_so4goxe9p\">Borregales \u2014 a Miami native \u2014 concluded his time as a Hurricane (50 games played) with 74 made field goals on 86 attempts<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_sho2am6if\" class=\"tagStyle_1mz4afy-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_sho2am6if\">Fans React to Early Andres Borregales Struggles<\/h2>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_y0h2mxahe\">Patios fans were quite upset with Borregales early on during the matchup against Miami.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_0gvy4mr1n\">&#8220;Also cut Borregales &#8230; I\u2019ve seen enough,&#8221; said one account on X.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ug60qc6dh\">&#8220;My suggestion to Andy Borregales: Use ChatGPT to tailor your resume and cover letter to job descriptions. You&#8217;ll never get to the initial screening process without it,&#8221; said another fan.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_640163rsm\">&#8220;Time to move on from Andy Borregales. What a joke,&#8221; said Yahoo Sports writer, Kevin O&#8217;Connor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_xcupk6dql\">Borregales did in fact redeem himself by the end of the game, recording a 53-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to secure the win \u2014 33-27.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_mn7tyymzh\">Make sure you bookmark New England Patriots on SI for the latest news, exclusive interviews, film breakdowns, and so much more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL Sunday of Sept. 14th has seen plenty of kicking issues around the league, which included the New England Patriots.
