Los Angeles Chargers convert rare fair-catch free kick for first time in 48 years

nbcsports.com

In a rare event, the Los Angeles Chargers successfully converted a fair-catch free kick during a game against the Denver Broncos. Kicker Cameron Dicker made a 57-yard kick, the first successful attempt in 48 years. Before this, only one of 16 fair-catch free kicks had been successful since 1976. The previous record was a 52-yard kick by Paul Hornung in 1964. Fair-catch free kicks are uncommon in the NFL. The last attempt before Dicker's was in 2019, when a 60-yard kick failed.
