Jaguars started kicker who never kicked a regular-season field goal at any level. He made his first try.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are having a rough go of things at the kicker position. On Sunday, they became the first team in NFL history to have a different player attempt a field goal or extra point in five straight games.

The team turned to Jon Brown in Week 6 because the Jags’ past four kickers have gotten injured. Elevated from the practice squad on Monday, Brown is at best a Plan E for the Jags. How do we know? Brown has never kicked or even attempted a field goal in a regular-season game. Not just in the NFL, but also during his college career.
