Raiders' Janikowski sets record for most FGs from 50+ yards

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

Sebastian Janikowski now stands alone among the most accomplished power kickers in NFL history.

With a 52-yard field goal in the first half Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, the longtime Oakland Raiders specialist became the NFL's all-time leader in successful kicks from 50-plus yards out with 53.

A rare kicker selected in the first round in 2000, Janikowski has spent his entire 17-year career with the Raiders.

Janikowski also held a share of the longest field goal in league history after converting on a 63-yard attempt, but Matt Prater bested that mark with a 64-yarder in 2013.
