Leave it to the Jags to do it when it doesn't 😏

Good for you young man 👍
Duuuuval Ping!
It needs to be in the record books, with an asterisk.
Wonder how far it would go in Denver?
They probably drug-tested right after the kick.
Since the Jags aren’t going anywhere this year, he should be given at least one chance to kick a 70 during the season, in a game where missing it wouldn’t matter.
Kickers are insanely good now.
At the time of the merger, about 60% of the Field Goal attempts were successful, now it’s around 85%. And back then attempts over 50 yards were rare, even with the goalposts at the goal line.
What’s the record in pregame practice?
Nice achievement. But, it’s a meaningless exhibition game.
Does anyone keep official records of exhibition games?
It sounds like officially this won’t count for anything.
But this guy seems to be a great kicker, if he can hit it from that distance.
It’s just like kicking an 80 yarder in practice. It doesn’t mean anything.
I have to correct that:
He is the only kicker in NFL history to be selected in the first round of the draft, chosen 17th overall in 2000, and he tied the NFL record for the longest field goal at 63 yards (tied with Tom Dempsey of the Saints), a feat he accomplished three times.
Janikowski is the Raiders' all-time leading scorer with 1,913 points, including 436 field goals made on a career 80.4% accuracy rate.
His legacy is cemented by his powerful leg, which also led to a record 76-yard field goal attempt in 2008, the longest in NFL history.
Tom Dempsey’s kick was from his own 37-yard line, but back then the goalposts were at the end zone.
And of course it came against the Lions.
I hate to mess with historical rules, but kicking a field goal doesn’t seem to equal half the points of a touchdown based on difficulty. Maybe FG’s should be worth 2 pts :)
If they have the 3-Point Shot in basketball, there should be a 4-Point FG for FGs over 70 yards.
Furthermore, every doink should be one point, so if you doink and miss, you still get one point, a double-doink is two points, or you could even get the quadruple doink for four points. And if it’s good you add the three points, so a good quadruple doink field goal would be worth 7 points, and if it’s over 70 yards, it’s 8 points.
We were visiting friends and went to watch their son’s high school football game. It was quite a windy evening and the kicker hit a wind assisted 70 yarder.
Saw that yesterday on NFL Network!..............now if they can just set that up during a regular season game!.............
So the ball was on their own 47. If a team starts on their 30 they only have to gain 17 yards to get into field goal range. It will change end of game strategies.
FG range on your side of the field is movie like scenarios..
He has one very strong - and accurate! - leg.
Still boycotting
