Factoid
Kickers keep getting better and better. They keep getting more and more accurate, and they keep increasing their range.
Below is a chart showing the 22 kickers who’ve kicked over 10 field goals from 50-plus yards in a three-year period. With it being a 20-year time period, you’d expect that one of the names below would be from the 2009-2011 time period. Instead, four of them are.
The leader is one of the current crop: Sebastian Janikowski.
