After nailing a 64-yard field goal, Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey expressed confidence that he could push his range even further — possibly as far as 70 or 71 yards.
Coach Confirms Confidence
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that as long as the offense can get the ball close to its own 50-yard line, Aubrey can make the kick. With a snap from the 50, that translates to about a 68-yard field goal, and the coach believes Aubrey can go farther. “We would try it from 70-ish,” Schottenheimer noted.
Schottenheimer also praised Aubrey’s consistency and steadiness, citing his reliability in practice and games and the strong execution of special teams operations like snap and hold.
Why It Matters
- The current NFL record for longest field goal stands at 66 yards. Aubrey pushing into the 70-yard range would set a new milestone.
- Having a kicker with that kind of proven range gives the offense more flexibility in long-distance situations, potentially changing play-calling strategy near midfield.
- Confidence from coaching staff and teammates in special teams units enhances overall morale and trust in clutch moments.
