Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis briefly stepped in as an emergency kicker during the team’s preseason game on 9 Aug 2025, converting an extra-point attempt. The successful kick, highlighted across NFL-broadcast footage, made Davis the latest non-specialist to handle place-kicking duties in a league game. The impromptu appearance came after the Bills found themselves without their regular place-kicker for the try, prompting the rookie running back to line up for the attempt. Davis’s kick sailed through the uprights, preserving Buffalo’s margin in a contest that sportsbooks had priced at Bills –1.5.
