Brandon Aubrey Just Changed NFL History and Redefines What’s Possible for the Cowboys
Brandon Aubrey Makes NFL History — And Sparks a New Era for the Cowboys
In the Dallas Cowboys’ 44–22 victory over the Washington Commanders, kicker Brandon Aubrey delivered a moment for the ages — a 61-yard field goal that marked the fifth successful kick of 60+ yards in his career, making him the first player in NFL history to ever reach that milestone.

A Journey That Redefined the Kicker Position
-
Although Aubrey is only in his third NFL season, he has already proven he’s not just “reliable,” but revolutionary.
This record-setting 61-yard kick wasn’t just another highlight — it was a historic landmark that signaled how far the art of kicking has evolved.
Aubrey himself acknowledged the moment, calling it a “living record,” knowing it will be hard to protect as kickers across the league improve year after year.
From consecutive makes to the highest number of 50+ yard field goals in a season, Aubrey is rewriting the NFL’s field-goal record book.
Why Aubrey Changes Everything for Dallas
-
When you have a kicker who can consistently hit from 60 yards, the game changes. Dallas no longer needs to push deep into opponent territory to score — midfield now means scoring range.
Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer even joked:
“Once we cross the 50, it’s Aubrey time.”
Team owner Jerry Jones also admitted he’s no longer surprised when Dallas attempts — and makes — kicks from beyond 60 yards. That’s how much confidence they now have in their kicker.
Loyalty Over Money
Following his record-breaking performance, Aubrey reportedly received multiple lucrative offers from other teams. But his answer only made Cowboys fans love him more:
“I’ve received big offers, yes — but Dallas is home. This team believed in me first. No amount of money can replace that.”
That response went viral, with fans calling it “the indomitable spirit of Dallas.”
What This Means for the Future of the NFL
-
Aubrey’s success forces every NFL coach to rethink strategy.
If 60-yard field goals become routine, offensive play-calling, clock management, and even defensive planning will evolve across the league.
Analysts believe the Cowboys must move quickly to extend or upgrade Aubrey’s contract, calling it a “no-brainer investment.”
Aubrey himself remains humble, but one thing is clear — he isn’t just breaking records. He’s changing the way football is played.
