Brandon Aubrey of the Cowboys kicks 65-yard field goal, 1 yard under the record

ARLINGTON, Texas – Brandon Aubrey kicked a 65-yard field goal for the Dallas Cowboys in the first quarter against the Baltimore Ravens, the second-longest kick in NFL history.

Aubrey’s kick on Sunday was 1 yard short of the record set by the kicker on the other sideline, Justin Tucker of the Ravens. Tucker’s 66-yard kick came on the final play of a 19-17 win at Detroit in 2021.

Both games were played indoors. Dallas played at AT&T Stadium, whose sunroof was closed.

The shot went several meters over the crossbar, and there was also space on the inside of the right post.

Aubrey has now completed 14 of 14 kicks of 50 yards or more in his two seasons. The 29-year-old extended his record for kicks of at least 50 yards without a miss at the start of his NFL career.

Aubrey managed a 55-yard kick at the end of the first half in Cleveland’s opener, but the kick came after the final whistle when the Cowboys were penalized for delay of game.

Dallas coaches wanted to give Aubrey a 71st-minute attempt, but changed their minds when the Browns got a returner into the end zone.
