Barth spent the final five weeks of the 2014 season with the Broncos, hitting 15 of 16 (.938) field-goal attempts. He twice tied the team record with five field goals in a game.

Murray, a former Gaelic football player in Ireland, hit 20 of 24 field goals as a rookie in 2014. But he has missed two field goals and an extra point this preseason.
