Love this stat from Cold Hard Football Facts:
Wow.Quote:
BONUS FACT: According to our explorations into the pro-football-reference.com search engine, teams that kick five or more field goals in a game have a record of 143-27 since 1960. Yep. This is how we spend our lives.

I tried to remember a game were a team had 5 FG's in it.
Hard to do.
Hard to believe there have been 170 of them.

There were 3 of them last year - including the Vikings' Week 2 loss to the Colts where Longwell had 5.

Bironas kicked 8 field goals a couple years ago.

Since 1960 - teams are 28-2 when making six or more FGs in a single game.

Simply a mind boggling stat
I would think there would be a bit more losses if you need to kick 5 FGs in a game

If you went in with the mindset that you were going to kick FGs to win, then the stats would drop significantly.Quote:

Actually I would think the opposite. You are obviously moving the ball well if you keep getting in range that many times. I am sure that team got a few TDs as well.Quote:

Are you accounting for the decades of play when the goal post wasn't set back 10 yds in the end zone?Quote:

You don't have to have that good of field position to kick a field goal.
