AN NFL RECORD

Last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, K Sebastian Janikowski connected on his 53rd field goal of 50-or-more yards, setting the all-time NFL record. Having converted 53-of-94 (56.4 percent) field goals from at least 50 yards out, Janikowski has now also attempted more field goals from that distance than any kicker in NFL history. In the game, Janikowski also passed Ryan Longwell for 14th all-time in points scored and attempted his 500th career field goal in regular season and postseason play.

• In his 17 NFL seasons, Janikowski has made at least two field goals of 50-or-more yards 12 times. His career percentage from 50-plus yards is 56.4 percent (53-of-94), including connecting on 1-of-2 from distance this season.

• In Week 11 of 2015 at Detroit, Janikowski connected on a 56- yard field goal for his third 50-yarder of the season. He has connected on at least three field goals of 50-plus yards in an NFLrecord 10 straight seasons (2006-15), looking for two more in the 2016 campaign to make it 11 consecutive seasons.
