Brandon Aubrey kicks 65-yard field goal for Cowboys vs Ravens

In a remarkable display of skill, Brandon Aubrey successfully kicked a 65-yard field goal for the Dallas Cowboys during the first quarter of their game against the Baltimore Ravens. This impressive feat places Aubrey's kick as the second-longest in NFL history, just one yard short of the record held by Justin Tucker of the Ravens. Tucker's record-setting kick was a 66-yarder made in 2021, showcasing the high level of competition between these two teams. The game took place at AT&T Stadium, where the retractable roof was closed, providing ideal conditions for kicking. Aubrey's kick not only cleared the crossbar by a couple of yards but also had additional room to spare inside the right upright, demonstrating his powerful leg strength and accuracy. This successful attempt adds to Aubrey's impressive record, as he has now made all 14 of his kicks from 50 yards or longer in his two seasons in the NFL. Aubrey's performance is particularly noteworthy as it extends his record for the most consecutive successful field goals from at least 50 yards to start an NFL career. Earlier in the season, he had made a 66-yard kick, although that attempt was nullified due to a delay of game penalty. The Cowboys' coaching staff had even considered allowing him to attempt a 71-yard kick during the game against the Browns, but opted against it when they noticed the opposing team had placed a returner in the end zone. This achievement not only highlights Aubrey's talent but also emphasizes the evolving role of kickers in the NFL, where long-range field goals are becoming increasingly common. As the season progresses, Aubrey's consistency and ability to perform under pressure will be crucial for the Cowboys' success in their pursuit of a championship.
