Frisco, Texas – At this point, nothing Brandon Aubrey should no longer be a big surprise. A goal on the field of 64 yards to equalize the match and force overtime, or then a 46 yards, the time expired in overtime to win the match, are only the last achievements that are starting to become the standard for Aubrey.
And it was these two kicks that probably helped Aubrey to win another price of the week’s player of the NFC special teams, an honor announced Wednesday by the League office.
The clutch of Aubrey 64 yards – The second longer in his career – equaled the 37-37 match with the Giants last Sunday. After several possessions of the two teams, the time has passed in overtime and the cowboys have approached their first regular season equality since 1969 before Avery could hit a 46 yards kick in the last seconds, propelling the cowboys to a 40-37 victory.
He became the first botter in the history of the NFL to go on a goal on the ground as time expires both in overtime and extension in the same game. His 64 yards is his fourth career goal of 60 years and more, equaling the NFL record with the former botter of Cowboys Brett Maher.
On the whole, Aubrey scored four goals on the field in the match, as well as four additional points, totaling 16 points. It was the eight times in his career that he has made at least four goals on the field in a match, the most since he entered the League in 2023.
For Aubrey, this is his third player prize for the week of the special teams in his career. He won it once as a recruit in 2023 against the Rams, then again last season in a victory on the BUCs.
Aubrey is the 8th botter in the history of cowboys to win the week’s NFC ST week and he is now tied with four other booters for most weekly prices with three. Chris Boniol, Billy Cundiff, Dan Bailey and Maher each won him three times.
But only Boniol won the monthly prize, which Avery won three times and could be in the fourth position.
Until now this year, Aubrey is 6-en-6 on the goals on the field and 6 for 6 on additional points.
