30 NFL records that could be broken this season

26. Justin Tucker, Longest field goal

The longest field goal is a record nobody thinks about until it happens. Who currently owns the longest field goal kicked in NFL history? Most would say Justin Tucker out of habit. He is by far the best kicker in the league right now, and he might be the best kicker of all time. Well, you’d be right. Justin Tucker broke the longest field goal record in 2021.

He’s going to break his own record this season. Teams are more willing to kick long field goals, and John Harbaugh has never been shy to put his kicker out in what seems like insane situations. He attempted 14 field goals from 50+ yards last season. He hit one from 58 yards last season. Tucker attempted to break his own record last season already. He came incredibly close.

This season, Tucker is going to hit from that range. He knows what he did wrong last November, and he can fix it for this season. He just has to put a little more leg into it. For most kickers, we would assume they put their all into a 67-yard field goal attempt, but Tucker has kicked the ball far enough to hit a 70-yarder in the past.

Tucker will go down as the best kicker of all time. Adding another record to his resume, one he already has, will only help his legacy.
