Redskins PK Kai Forbath sets NFL record
Washington Redskins PK Kai Forbath [aka Kobra Kai] set an NFL record today when he kicked a 42-yard field goal right down the middle of the uprights at Lincoln Financial Field against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Trailing 7-3, Forbath came on at 4th and 9 at the Philadelphia 24-yard line and nailed the 42-yarder, his 17th straight made field goal to start his NFL career. The previous NFL best was by Garrett Hartley of the New Orleans Saints, who hit his first 16 from 2008-09.
The Redskins currently trail the Eagles 7-6, needing a win this week and another next week to guarantee Washington its first division championship since 1999.
