Aaron Rodgers won his Steelers debut with a 34-point effort—and a helping foot from Chris Boswell, setting a record. The Steelers kick attempted just two field goals, but made both—one from 56, one from 60. The latter proved a game-winner, and in the process set a Steelers franchise record.
Connecting from 60-plus yards was the last thing on Chris Boswell’s individual to-do list. Although he established himself as arguably the greatest long-ball kicker in NFL history, he had never made one from more than 59 yards. Now he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore. In fact, his game-winning 60-yard kick had plenty of extra leg behind it.
