Chris Boswell was arguably the offensive MVP for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. One game into the 2025 season and there’s no debate — Boswell IS the Steelers’ offensive MVP.
Pittsburgh is 1-0 after defeating the New York Jets, 34-32, in Sunday’s regular season opener at MetLife Stadium. There were big performances elsewhere, yes, but none bigger than Boswell, who split the uprights from 60 yards out with 1:03 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Steelers the victory.
Head coach Mike Tomlin kept it short and sweet when discussing Boswell after the game. “I can’t say enough about Boz. Our kicker is a serial killer. He’s got a low pulse rate, and he’s ready to deliver.”
Boswell nails a career long 60-yarder to give Pittsburgh the lead!

Boswell’s 60-yard make for the win was a career-long for him. The 11th-year veteran has been a consistent performer for the Steelers over the years, and he showed Sunday he’s at the peak of his powers coming off a Pro Bowl campaign.
Boswell, who has two years remaining on his current deal that he signed three years ago, was seeking a new contract this offseason. It never materialized but after Sunday, you have to think Boswell has a strong case to get a pay raise.
