Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey knew immediately that he caught the ball well off his right foot.
Aubrey's 66-yard field goal in the Cowboys' 27-12 preseason win against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday night
would have equaled the NFL record set by Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens on 2021.
Aubrey said. "Got a little bounce off of your foot, that it sticks onto your foot for like a fraction of a second and then it goes.
It kind of shoots off, jumps off your foot. And you know right off the bat it was a good, clean hit.
In last week's preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium, Aubrey's 65-yard attempt was wide and potentially a little short.
After the game, coach Mike McCarthy contemplated giving Aubrey a chance at a 72-yarder earlier in the drive but said
Bones wasn't feeling it," referring to special teams coordinator John Fassel.
