There weren’t a lot of positives for Jacksonville Jaguars fans to evaluate at the end of the season, but Josh Lambo was easily one of the brightest spots of 2019. The veteran placekicker was 33-of-34 on his field-goal attempts (97.1%) and was 19-of-20 on extra-point attempts (95%). With both figures marking a career-high and marking some of the best figures in the league, Lambo was named a second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press Friday afternoon.

In 2019 Lambo wasn’t only able to achieve career-high statistics, but he was able to surpass a franchise record as well. In Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, he topped Mike Hollis’ field goal record of 31 made attempts on the year by two field goals.
Lambo was also named the first alternate for the AFC in the upcoming Pro Bowl earlier in the 2019 season. With Justin Tucker making the cut ahead of Lambo, it’s possible fans could get to see Lambo and replace the Baltimore Ravens placekicker as they may be still fighting for an opportunity to be in the Super Bowl.
Lambo had several highlight moments on the season, but his biggest was kicking the game-winning field-goal against the Denver Broncos to get the Jags their second win of the season. Hopefully, 2020 will provide more of those moments for the veteran kicker who has been nothing short of solid for the Jags.
