On September 28, 2008, Janikowski unsuccessfully attempted a 76-yard field goal against the San Diego Chargers into the heavy wind right before halftime. This is presumed to be the longest attempt in NFL history; though the league keeps no such records on attempts, the longest known attempts previous to this were 74 yard attempts by Mark Moseley and Joe Danelo in 1979.
This is the Longest Field Goal ATTEMPT in NFL History.

This is such an al Davis raiders move
Lol I i remember this. Al Davis fired Lane Kiffin the next day 😂
How do you not lose your job at halftime if you’re the coach?
He makes that with tailwind… that's insane.
San Diego vs Oakland? What trash league is this?
Chargers ended up winning this game
Raiders administration was high AF then.
😂 bro 🧉🤣😀😁😄😎WHY?JUST WHY? Would've had a better chance of scoring with a hail mary.🎉😂
How is this a highlight? TD
This almost seems like it’s going to be the norm in the future as it can also serve as a makeshift punt as we saw here
Greatest kicker of all time
Fail.
"Trying to seduce that defense" 😳
Kevin Butler's 70 yard attempt while still at Georgia was a yard short. Course he had a field goal tee, but still amazing for the time in 1984. If it had been from the middle of the field instead of the far right hashmark, it would have been good. Butler could have kicked a 70 yard field goal in his NFL days if he had taken 5 steps like Tucker did when he made his 66 yard field goal for the Ravens.
Jamarcus a team captain was insane 😂
I remember that time. One of the worst times to be a raider fan.
Who do I get in touch with about getting the last minute and forty-five seconds of my life back?
I thought he would have done better. I know he had a huge leg, but he was like 15 yards short, which is not really good at all for an elite kicker. Also the wind was at his back if you look at the flags. I bet he would have done if he got another attempt.
You'd think they'd only try that WITH the wind.
Lane had zero confidence in JaMarcus
I know that’s the raiders from Oakland but what is SD
Americans are absolutely clueless ; it's pronounced Yani-kohf-ski !!
Might have been 60ish yards (into the wind). Pretty dang good!
Worth every penny.
This was so retarded the city was stripped of their team. Even the opposing team was banished.
something abt that tackle looks old
Lane Kiffin what a dumbass
Up 15 – 0 at home with 1 second left in the half and Janakowski as my kicker…
Yeahhhhh, im just gunna see what happens, too 😂😂😂.
I meannn, maybe not from freakin 76 yards, but im sending him out from 70 without even thinkin about it, lmao.
70 is already DAMN near impossible, but 76 is 100000% impossible, lmao.
Guys be hittin from 70+ in warm ups soo, it is possible to hit from that far. But, during a game when you have 11 othet GIANT men with a super high vertical jump and giant arms, it just makes it damn near impossible with the very low trajectory the ball has to be kicked at.
If they threw a Hail Mary with one second, they might have got a touchdown. A field goal from 76 yards and wind blowing against the kicker, not possible. 😊
Aubrey >
Bates might actually be able to make this lmfao
loved old NFL broadcasts. they seem too polished and saturated now
They were like going to run the clock out and end of the half. I think Kiffin goes the wind direction confused for a second there.. because then it would have made sense and worth the shot vs ending the half.
Better than a kneel-down.
the aura that you have to posses for them to put the net up
