The Cincinnati Bengals have needed a new kicker for a while, and on Tuesday they finally released Mike Nugent and found his replacement.

Nugent missed six (!) extra point attempts this season, the most of any kicker. He also missed six field goals (23 of 29) in 13 games.

He was playing so poorly that Vegas sportsbooks even set odds on whether he’d miss an extra point.

The Bengals, who own a 5-7-1 record, host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
