Across the 2024 and 2025 regular seasons, no kicker in the NFL has more field goals made than Fairbairn's 80. He's connected on 88.9% of 90 attempts, leading Aubrey (76) and ahead of Dicker (77) — and his 2025 alone produced 44 FGM in 17 games, the most by any kicker this season.

The Texans live on field goals: their offense ranks middle-pack in red-zone TD rate, and Fairbairn's volume is part of how Houston wins close. 44 makes in one season is a franchise record and the most by any AFC kicker in 2025.

Three-year ramp: 27 → 36 → 44 FGM. Each year more attempts, each year more makes.

His 2023 was the single-best accuracy season any Texans kicker has had (96.4%) — 27-of-28. Then the offense around him scaled. 2024 doubled his 2021 attempt count, and 2025's 44 makes is the single-season peak of his career.

The 9th-year breakout came with a 6-point accuracy jump (85.7% → 91.7%) and a long of 57 — at age 31, in his 9th NFL season.

95.2% from 40-49 over the last two years — better than league average from anywhere.

The accuracy profile across his last two seasons is almost flat through the first two buckets — 95.0% under 40, 95.2% from 40-49. League-average from 40-49 has hovered around 82-85% the last few seasons; Fairbairn's mark is 10+ points above it.

The 50+ tier is where his curve does drop: 22-of-29 from 50-59 (75.9%) is solid but not elite, and Houston has leaned on him for 29 attempts from that range over two years.

257 career FGs made — the all-time Texans franchise record holder.

Milestone

In 9 regular seasons as Houston's kicker, Fairbairn has made 257 of 293 career field goals (87.7%) — and added 12 of 16 in the postseason. He's the longest-tenured kicker in franchise history, and his 257 career FGM is the most by any Texans kicker by a comfortable margin.

The 2018 breakout (37 FGM, second-best of his career) led the AFC at the time. The 2025 season (44 FGM) lapped it. Three different seasons of 35+ FGM is matched by very few active kickers.

From the league's most accurate kicker in 2023 (96.4%) to its most prolific in 2025.

Comparison

In 2023 he finished 27-of-28, a 96.4% conversion rate — among the highest single-season marks ever recorded by a Texans kicker. He then turned the dial the other way: 2025's 44 FGM on 48 attempts was a volume-leading season.

The combined picture: 80 FGM over 2024-25 leads the NFL, and his 91.7% accuracy in 2025 ranks top-3 among all kickers with 35+ attempts. Few kickers age into both an accuracy peak and a volume peak in the same window of their career — Fairbairn has done it back-to-back.
