"Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports The headline says it all, as the Seahawks are expected to be in the market for a new coach Sunday the 2023 season of the Seattle Seahawks ended with a win over the Arizona Cardinals when kicker Matt Prater, who missed five field goals all season, missed a pair of field goals in the final three minutes of the game."

2023
"Next up: Michael Badgley Expectations heading into 2022 Since letting go of Matt Prater following the 2020 season, the Lions had employed Austin Seibert, Riley Patterson, Dominik Eberle, Sam Ficken, Randy Bullock, Zane Gonzalez, Matthew Wright, Ryan Santoso, and Aldrick Rosas at the position."

2022
"Ammendola was called up from the Cardinals practice squad this week to replace an injured Matt Prater."

2021
"Arizona's Matt Prater attempted what would have been an NFL-record 68-yard field goal at the end of the half at Jacksonville, and it ended up leading to an NFL-record-tying 109-yard touchdown for the Jaguars' Jamal Agnew."

2020
"Unsurprisingly, the longest field goal in NFL history, 64 yards, was kicked in Denver by Matt Prater."

2018
"Kicker Matt Prater threw a touchdown pass to tight end Levine Toilolo on a fake field goal as the Lions caught the Packers off guard."

"WATCH: Matt Prater one-ups Justin Tucker, bombs 76-yard field goal at 2017 Pro Bowl"

2016
"Matthew Stafford threw a winning TD pass in OT after Matt Prater tied it at the end of regulation"

2015
"Matt Prater hit a 41-yard field goal at the 5:20 mark to get the Lions to within four points, but Steven Hauschka canceled the tally out with a 51-yarder 1:05 from halftime to give Seattle a 10-3 edge heading into the break."

2014
"The Denver Broncos announced Friday that they released kicker Matt Prater."
