With just three seconds remaining, Dallas trailed 37-34 and needed a miracle. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer put his trust in Aubrey, a former soccer player turned NFL kicker, for what seemed like an impossible attempt. Calm and composed, Aubrey launched the ball with perfect power and precision, sending it soaring through the uprights as the clock hit zero.

The crowd erupted in disbelief. What had looked like certain defeat became a moment for the ages, as Aubrey’s strike forced overtime in one of the wildest NFC East battles in recent memory.

Top 3 in NFL History

The kick wasn’t just clutch — it was historic. Aubrey’s 64-yarder now ranks among the Top 3 longest field goals in NFL history, alongside Justin Tucker’s 66-yard record in 2021 and Matt Prater’s 64-yarder in 2013.

According to CBS Sports and AP News, Aubrey’s kick is also the longest ever to tie a game at the buzzer, making it a unique entry in league history.

Rare Air, Rare Moment

  • Only three players in NFL history have ever hit from 64 yards or beyond. Aubrey is now part of that exclusive list.

  • His game-tying bomb came at the most dramatic possible moment, wiping away the Giants’ lead and setting up overtime.

  • In OT, Aubrey finished the job, converting a 46-yard field goal to give Dallas the 40-37 win.

  • For Aubrey, who transitioned from professional soccer to NFL kicking, this was more than just another kick. It was validation — proof that he is not only one of the league’s most reliable weapons but now part of NFL lore.

    “This game is madness,” the NFL’s official X account posted immediately after the field goal went viral, as clips of the kick racked up hundreds of thousands of views within minutes.

    The Cowboys’ dramatic overtime win over the Giants will be remembered for years, but Aubrey’s 64-yard strike stands above all. It wasn’t just about tying a game — it was about joining history, delivering under pressure, and putting his name alongside the league’s most legendary kickers.

    From despair to euphoria, from the edge of defeat to the top of history, Brandon Aubrey’s leg gave Dallas its first iconic highlight of the 2025 season.

    Steelers Add Two Former Packers Fan Favorites to Practice Squad To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Browns Game
      PITTSBURGH – On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed two linebackers formerly with the Green Bay Packers for a workout session. The players invited were Michael Barrett and Isaiah Simmons, as the team looks to bolster its defensive unit ahead of upcoming games. Isaiah Simmons, selected as the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson, has appeared in 84 games. He has recorded 329 tackles (226 solo, 103 assisted), 8.5 sacks (74 yards), 5 interceptions (127 yards), 2 interception touchdowns, 9 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries. Simmons, who briefly signed with the Packers in 2025 but didn’t make the final roster, is known for his versatility and impressive speed. Michael Barrett, a 7th-round pick (240th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, has limited NFL experience. He has appeared in a few games on practice squads with teams like the Packers and Browns but has yet to record significant stats (0 tackles, sacks, or interceptions). At Michigan, Barrett had a standout final college season with 65 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. Alex Highsmith, a key linebacker for the Steelers, suffered a high ankle sprain during the team’s Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on September 14, 2025. The injury sidelined him for Weeks 3 and 4, with an estimated recovery time of 4-6 weeks. While Highsmith was not placed on injured reserve to maintain roster flexibility, he is still recovering post-bye week and expected to return soon. However, the Steelers are seeking temporary replacements for the edge rusher position. The workouts with Barrett and Simmons reflect head coach Mike Tomlin’s cautious approach to adding depth to the defense, especially after releasing Ja’Whaun Bentley and losing Jon Rhattigan to the Raiders. Simmons, with his experience and athleticism, could be an ideal short-term option to support T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. The Steelers have not yet announced any contract decisions regarding the two linebackers. SOURCE: https://x.com/FarabaughFB/status/1976031373946388722
