Brandon Aubrey<\/a> is no stranger to long-range field goal attempts. Would he like the idea of implementing a four-point field goal in the NFL?<\/p>\n“I think it’s a little weird,” Aubrey told ESPN. “Kind of incentivizes you to stall the drive in a certain spot. It makes you really, really question your playcalling around that 50-yard line area. It’s interesting for kickers that have the leg to get it there, maybe [there’s] a little bit more value there. But kind of perverses the incentives of football where the goal is to get it as close to the other person’s half as possible.”<\/p>\n
Aubrey added that he was conflicted on the idea since it would be good for kickers, but a “nightmare” for play callers.<\/p>\n
According to DiRocco, NFL kickers attempted 22 field goals of 60+ yards in 2025. They made 12 of those kicks. In the UFL, kickers went 8-for-14 from 60+ yards after the four-point field goal rule was adopted.<\/p>\n
