Janikowski Breaks Record for Most Career 50-Yard Field Goals

Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski only attempted one field goal in a Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans, but he made it count by taking sole possession of the NFL career record for most field goals of 50-plus yards, per ESPN Stats & Info.

His 52-yarder in the second quarter was his 53rd field goal from 50-plus in his career, breaking a tie with former Detroit Lions kicker Jason Hanson, who last played in 2012.

While no longer considered the NFL's preeminent distance placekicker, Janikowski has still proven capable of converting from a long way out, making five kicks from 50-plus yards since the beginning of last season.
