Stephen Gostkowski: ‘Right now I just stink’
The Patriots kicker is mired in a slump in 2016.
At 6-1, the Patriots have been anything but disappointing so far this season. However, one usually rock-solid member of the team has been struggling in 2016.

The Patriots beat the Steelers 26-17 Sunday, but Gostkowski missed an extra point attempt in the third quarter.
The veteran kicker has a career 87 percent success rate on field goals and was 515/516 on extra point attempts before missing one last week against Cincinnati.
Dating back to AFC title game, Stephen Gostkowski has missed a kick in six of his last eight games.

The Patriots will need their all-time points leader to figure out the problem sooner rather than later, with a tough slate of games including the Bills and Seahawks coming up.
