Cameron Dicker of the Los Angeles Chargers made NFL history with a 57-yard fair catch free kick, surpassing the previous record of 52 yards set by Paul Hornung in 1962. This remarkable play occurred just before halftime, following an interception thrown by quarterback Justin Herbert.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh opted for this uncommon strategy after a penalty against the Denver Broncos, allowing Dicker to attempt a kick without opposition. The last successful attempt prior to Dicker's was in 1976.
