Overview

• Under 2025 procedures, clubs receive their season allotment of kicking balls in advance and can prepare them all week before selecting a limited set for games.
• Two of the five longest field goals in league history have been made this season—65 yards by Chase McLaughlin and 64 by Brandon Aubrey—with four 60-plus-yard makes through four weeks.
• Eagles coordinator Vic Fangio likened the environment to baseball’s power boom and said such kicks deserve an asterisk, adding the expanded range is changing late-half and endgame defensive calls.
• Eagles special teams coordinator Michael Clay detailed that kickers now choose preferred balls after a full week of work and noted the league still restricts the number available on game day.
• Fangio predicted a 70-plus-yard regular-season make this year, while Jacksonville’s Cam Little already converted a 70-yarder in the preseason, which does not count for records.
