Call it the Kicking Kraze or the Field Goal Frenzy. Whatever you prefer, the foot is definitely a major part of pro football through three weeks. Most notably, from long range. Through those three weeks, there were 36 attempts at 50-yard or longer field goals, the most in a season over the last dozen years. And 23 have gone through, though Justin Tucker’s NFL-record 66-yarder to lift Baltimore past Detroit last Sunday needed a friendly bounce off the crossbar. It’s now the spotlight kick at least until someone else nails a longer one.
