Stephen Carroll Gostkowski (pronounced "gust-OW-ski"; the first 'K' is silent) (born January 28, 1984 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is a placekicker for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft with the 118th pick, one of just two kickers drafted, and the only rookie kicker to make an NFL roster that year.

Gostkowski, who played both college football and baseball for the University of Memphis, is the most accurate kicker in Patriots history, and one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history. He is also a consistent and prolific scorer: he is only the second player in NFL history to score 500 points in his first four seasons in the league.

Stephen Gostkowski Video

The New England Patriots had won ten consecutive home openers going into Week Two, but that streak was snapped on Sunday as the Arizona Cardinals shocked the world with a 20-18 win over the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. The Cardinals defense kept Tom Brady off balance and out of rhythm all afternoon and looked to be in firm control until New England scored a fourth quarter touchdown to bring the score within 2, 20-18. The Cardinals then did everything possible to lose when Ryan Williams fumbled inside New England territory. Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski was set up perfectly for the game-winner but missed wide left from 42 yards to give Arizona the win and an improbable 2-0 start.

Stephen Gostkowski nice hit on a returner. Huge hit by a kicker
0.22 min. | 4.2 user rating		 (my response) Kevin Kolb took advantage of mistakes the Patriots made. Stephen Gostkowski failed when the Cardinals gave him one last chance Kolb threw for one touchdown and ran for another, Gostkowski missed a potential winning field goal in the final seconds, and Arizona upset New England 20-18 on Sunday. The Patriots took over when Vince Wilfork recovered a fumble by Ryan Williams at the Cardinals 30-yard line with 1:01 left. A 30-yard run into the end zone by Danny Woodhead was nullified by a holding penalty against Rob Gronkowski. New England then moved to the 24 before Tom Brady spiked the ball to stop the clock with 6 seconds remaining. But Gostkowski, who had made his other four field-goal attempts, sent a 42-yard try wide to the left. The Cardinals (2-0) won behind Kolb, filling in for John Skelton, who missed the game with a sprained right ankle. The Patriots (1-1) lost tight end Aaron Hernandez to an ankle injury in the first quarter. Kolb overcame a shaky start, then threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts 6 minutes into the third quarter after a blocked punt and ran for a 5-yard score on the third play of the fourth as the Cardinals took a 20-9 lead. Trailing 20-12 after Gostkowski's 53-yard field goal, Brady led his best drive of the game. He completed eight of 10 passes for 82 yards, capped by a 5-yard touchdown throw to Gronkowski, making it 20-18 with 2:06 left. But his pass to Gronkowski for a 2-point conversion was broken up by Kerry Rhodes. The <b>...</b>
