Aubrey nailed a 61-yard field goal in the second quarter of the 44-22 victory. It was the fifth field goal of his career that he’s made from at least 60 yards out. CBS Sports noted that Aubrey became the first kicker to achieve the feat in NFL history.

Aubrey is 15-of-15 on field goal attempts this season.

The Cowboys signed Aubrey before the start of the 2023 season after he made a name for himself in the USFL with the Birmingham Stallions. He was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2023.

Aubrey, who went to school at Notre Dame, didn’t initially play football at all. He was a soccer standout for the Fighting Irish before trying his hand at the pro level with Toronto FC. He also played for Bethlehem Steel FC of the United Soccer League.
