Brandon Aubrey has become an absolute sensation for the Dallas Cowboys. The former soccer player turned All-Pro field-goal kicker continues to cement himself as one of the NFL’s best kickers week after week.
This Sunday, with Aubrey’s Cowboys finding themselves in a dogfight with the New York Giants, the 30-year-old kicker, came to the rescue when it mattered most for his team.
With the Cowboys trailing the Giants 37-34 with just 0:25 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys were able to work the ball to the Giants’ 46-yard-line. That was more than close enough for Aubrey to do what he does best.
Brandon Aubrey Kicks His Way Into NFL Record Books
Aubrey nailed the 64-yard field-goal, as time expired, sending the game to overtime. And with the game still tied as time was expiring in OT, Aubrey drilled a 46-yard game-winning field-goal, securing a 40-37 victory for the Cowboys.
Aubrey became the first player in NFL history to convert a game-tying field-goal with no time remaining in the fourth quarter and a game-winning field-goal with no time remaining in OT in the same game.
Not only has Aubrey been extremely accurate in clutch moments throughout his three-year-career, he has made multiple forms of NFL history in the process.
His 64-yard field-goal from Sunday is tied for the third-longest in NFL history. Only Justin Tucker’s (66 yards) and his own kick from 2024 (65 yards) have been made from longer distance.
Aubrey also became the first kicker in NFL history to make two field goals from 64 or more yards in his career.
After playing his college soccer at the University of Notre Dame, and even being drafted by the Toronto FC of the MLS in 2017, Aubrey appears to have made the right decision to try his foot at kicking.
Aubrey is currently under contract, earning $1.03 million with the Cowboys through the end of this season. He’ll become a restricted free agent at the end of the year.
