Steelers’ Mike Tomlin Praises Boswell After 60-Yard Game-Winner vs Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell delivered a clutch performance in the 2025 season opener against the New York Jets, nailing a career-long 60-yard game-winning field goal to secure a 34-32 victory. Head coach Mike Tomlin praised Boswell as a "serial killer" with a low pulse rate, emphasizing his calmness and reliability under pressure. Boswell went 2-for-2 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points in the game, continuing a stellar 2024 season where he made 93.2% of his kicks and was named first-team All-Pro. Despite seeking a new contract this offseason, Boswell remains under his current deal through 2026, with speculation about a possible pay raise given his consistent excellence and critical role for the Steelers. The game also marked quarterback Aaron Rodgers' Steelers debut, who threw four touchdown passes to four different receivers, complementing Boswell's heroics. Boswell's performance underscores his status as one of the NFL's top kickers and a key offensive asset for Pittsburgh.
