Cameron Dicker of the Los Angeles Chargers achieved a historic milestone by successfully executing the first fair-catch kick in the NFL since 1976, scoring from 57 yards against the Denver Broncos. This obscure play allows a team to attempt a free kick after making a fair catch, but it is rarely utilized due to the specific circumstances needed.
Dicker's kick not only marked the first successful attempt in decades but also set a new record for the longest fair-catch kick in NFL history, surpassing Paul Hornung's previous record of 52 yards.
