🚨 BREAKING: BRANDON AUBREY SHATTERS NFL HISTORY WITH EXPLOSIVE PERFORMANCE IN LOSS TO LIONS
DALLAS COWBOYS KICKER BECOMES FIRST PLAYER EVER TO HIT THREE 55+ YARD FIELD GOALS IN A SINGLE GAME
DETROIT — On a night where the Dallas Cowboys watched their playoff hopes fade into near darkness, one man continued to shine brighter than any star on the field. All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey didn’t just make history — he detonated it, rewriting the NFL record books in one of the most remarkable individual performances the league has ever seen from a kicker.
Aubrey delivered three field goals of 55 yards or longer in the Cowboys’ 44–30 loss to the Detroit Lions, including an unforgettable 63-yard bomb that sent shockwaves across the NFL. With additional makes from 57 and 55 yards, Aubrey became the first player in league history to achieve the feat in a single game.
And that wasn’t the only milestone.
Aubrey also became the first NFL player ever to make 100 field goals in the first three seasons of a career — a pace unmatched by any kicker in modern football.
While the Cowboys dropped to 6–6–1 and saw their postseason chances take a significant hit, Aubrey’s night became the story dominating social media, television broadcasts, and locker rooms leaguewide.
A RECORD-BREAKING NIGHT THAT SHOOK THE NFL
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reacted instantly:
“Brandon Aubrey just casually knocking a 63-yarder through. That was Tom Dempsey’s record distance that stood alone for 28 years.”
Analysts were quick to point out the magnitude of Aubrey’s performance.
Kalshi Sports took it a step further:
“Brandon Aubrey might be more valuable than many NFL QBs.”
The numbers don’t lie.
In only three NFL seasons, Aubrey now has as many 60-yard field goals (6-for-9) as every kicker from 1960 to 2008 combined — a staggering comparison that proves his generational leg talent.
THE MAKING OF A LEGEND
This isn’t Aubrey’s first rendezvous with history.
Just weeks earlier, he became the first player ever with five career field goals from 60+ yards, breaking the NFL all-time record after a 61-yard kick against Washington in Week 7.
Legendary quarterback Tom Brady, calling the game, put it best:
“We call Aubrey Stephen Curry, because his range is from anywhere.”
For a player who wasn’t even a football kicker four years ago, the rise has been nothing short of cinematic.
FROM MLS FIRST-ROUND PICK TO NFL SUPERSTAR
Before becoming the most explosive leg in the NFL, Aubrey was a first-round MLS Draft pick, selected 21st overall by Toronto FC after starring at Notre Dame.
In 2019, at his wife’s urging, he pivoted — leaving soccer behind and training relentlessly for a new dream.
The journey took him through the USFL’s Birmingham Stallions in 2022 and 2023 before finally leading him to Dallas, where he now stands as one of the most dominant kickers the league has ever seen.
A FAN FAVORITE — AND NOW A CONTRACT HEADLINE
Cowboys fans have embraced Aubrey as one of the faces of the franchise.
“Brandon Aubrey is not a kicker — he is an offensive weapon,” one fan wrote on X.
Another added:
“How long until Aubrey is in the GOAT kicker conversation?”
With Aubrey in the final season of his 3-year, $2.7 million contract, his next deal is expected to reset the kicker market.
He is projected to surpass $5 million per year, putting him in the territory of Kansas City’s Harrison Butker — currently the highest-paid kicker at $6.4 million annually.
EVEN IN DEFEAT, A STAR RISES
The Cowboys may have lost their grip on the playoff race, but what Aubrey delivered in Detroit will be replayed for years to come.
Records fell.
History was rewritten.
And a former MLS defender turned NFL sensation cemented his place as one of the most electrifying kickers the sport has ever seen.
Brandon Aubrey isn’t just a specialist.
He’s a phenomenon — and he’s just getting started.
