Brandon Aubrey has rapidly redefined what is possible for NFL kickers, making a 70-yard field goal attempt feel like an inevitability rather than a fantasy. The Dallas Cowboys superstar already holds a career-long of 65 yards in regular season action. He even boomed a would-be record-tying 66-yarder during the preseason. After he comfortably drilled a 60-yard attempt this past Sunday, the football world is eagerly anticipating when he will be given the green light to break Justin Tucker’s all-time NFL record of 66 yards.The opportunity could arise sooner than anyone expects. Following Sunday’s game, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer voiced supreme confidence in his kicker’s historic leg strength. When pressed on when Dallas might finally let Aubrey unleash a historic 70-yard attempt, Schottenheimer smiled and gave an enticing warning to the rest of the league: “We’re not afraid of it. So, stay tuned. It could be any time soon.” With a coaching staff completely willing to gamble on his distance, Aubrey just needs the perfect storm of a looming halftime buzzer, favorable wind conditions, or a late-game desperation scenario to attempt the impossible.Would you like to review Brandon Aubrey’s complete kicking statistics from this season, or see how his career long compares to the longest field goals in NFL history?
