They mention 2 games like GZ, but I remember getting beat by 5 short field goals twice, in ATL, in 1978 and 1973. They didn't hit any long ones, but talk about furstrating/

In outscoring the powerful Broncos by his lonesome, Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein has earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the third time in his career.
Zuerlein, who connected on all five field goals in the Rams’ 22-7 win vs. Denver on Sunday, received the conference’s weekly special teams award from the NFL on Wednesday. A third-year pro, Zuerlein hit from 37, 29, 22, 55 and 53 yards, with the longest kicks in the fourth quarter, adding to the lead for underdog St. Louis.
Zuerlein also did the job on the kickoffs, with 5-of-7 going for touchbacks. The two returns went for a combined 24 yards.
According to the league, Zuerlein is only the third kicker in NFL history to hit at least five field goals in a game and not miss a single attempt while connecting on at least two field goals of 53 yards or more.
The Rams (4-6) play at San Diego on Sunday. The Chargers’ punter, Mike Scifres, was recognized as the AFC special teams player of the week on Wednesday.
