Had it been the regular season the kick would’ve tied Justin Tucker’s NFL-record, 66-yard game-winning, field goal against the Detroit Lions in 2021.
Brett Maher booted a 63-yard field goal for the Cowboys in a win over Philadelphia in 2019, the longest in franchise history.
Aubrey joined the Cowboys in the 2023 season after playing for the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions for two seasons and was dominant in the NFL.
The Notre Dame product made 36 of 38 field goals and 49 of 52 extra points en route to earning a 2023 NFL All-Pro first-team selection.
