NFL kickers have basically become robots. For a long time, it felt like a 50-yard field goal may be the max for a human leg. However, the guys with the boots in today’s game are defying the odds.
On Sunday, fans got the chance to see not one, but two 61-yard field goals, in the span of 10 minutes. NFL kickers are a different breed these days.

Oh, and apparently, Havrisik had plans of becoming a part-time substitute teacher. Now, he is a record holder for an NFL franchise.

The second 61-yard field goal in Week 7 comes from none other than Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey. Aubrey has quickly grabbed the crown for best kicker in the league. Aubrey’s 61-yard make almost feels like light work for the golden toe.

As a kid, my friends and I would laugh at the idea of someone making a 60-yard field goal. Now it happens multiple times in one week. Are we ready to see someone drill one from 70?

I think it’s possible. If anyone is going to do it, though, it would be the guy in Dallas.
