Chase McLaughlin has been a reliable kicker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the past two seasons. After all, his 93.7% field goal conversion rate (minimum 50 attempts) stands as the best in the history of the franchise. However, the start of the 2025 season has been a completely different story. Through the first two games, McLaughlin has struggled. He’s missed two of his three field goal attempts and an extra point. Thankfully, however, his slip-ups didn’t hurt the Buccaneers too much. They currently stand at 2-0 and are set to face the New York Jets, who will be walking into the Raymond James Stadium with a worrying 0-2 record.

But even then, it’s not like McLaughlin can rest easy. Head coach Todd Bowles didn’t mince his words as he addressed the situation on Wednesday. “[He’s] gotta make them. They’re concerning. They’ve happened two weeks in a row,” he said. “Obviously we have to get better there. We gotta block it better, we gotta kick it better, and we gotta make them. It’s really cut and dry.” Of course, the Texas native will be looking to bounce back from this slump. And while he is at it, he might look to his close ones for support and comfort. Speaking of whom, let’s explore what we know about his parents.

Chase McLaughlin’s relationship with his parents?
