  • Titans-Bills Supplemental Notes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 12, 2020 TITANS-BILLS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES GOSTKOWSKI AMONG ALL-TIME GREATS IN LONG-RANGE FIELD GOALS: For his Week 3 performance at Minnesota, Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, and he added AFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors to his résumé on the strength of his three game-winning field goals in September. In the game against the Vikings, Gostkowski totaled a career-best six field goals. He made kicks, in order, of 39, 31 and 30 yards in the first half, followed by second-half field goals of 51, 54 and 55 yards. The 55-yarder provided the go-ahead points late in the 31-30 victory. The 15th-year veteran tied an NFL record with three field goals of 50-plus yards in a game, matching a feat that had been accomplished on only nine previous occasions. Graham Gano of the New York Giants later matched the feat against Dallas on Oct. 11. Prior to Gostkowski’s heroics, the most recent kicking performance of its kind was Baltimore’s Justin Tucker on Nov. 27, 2016 against Cincinnati. Gostkowski also was the fifth player in history to hit three field goals of at least 50 yards in a single half. Tucker, in the first half of the aforementioned contest with the Bengals, was the last to do it. Most field goals of 50 or more yards in a game, NFL history: 50+ Yard Player Team Opponent Date Field Goals 1. Graham Gano N.Y. Giants Dallas Oct.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn SAn FRAnCISCO 49ERS Team History The San Francisco 49ers were charter members of the All-America Football Conference, which began play in 1946. Had it not been for the Browns, who won four championships and lost only four games in the league’s four years of operation, the 49ers would have been the AAFC’s dominant team. Their cumulative record was an excellent 39-15-2. They handed the Browns two of their four defeats but finished second each year. Even in attendance, the 49ers were second best in the AAFC next to Cleveland. When the 49ers moved to the NFL in 1950 following the collapse of the AAFC, their original management team -- co-owners Anthony J. Morabito and Victor P. Morabito and general manager Louis Spadia -- remained intact. The 49ers in the 1950s boasted some of the game’s great individual stars: quarterbacks Frankie Albert and Y. A. Tittle, running backs Hugh McElhenny, Joe Perry and John Henry Johnson, tackle Bob St. Clair and defensive tackle Leo Nomellini. But the closest they came to a championship in their first two decades of NFL play was in 1957, when they tied Detroit for the NFL Western division crown but lost in a playoff. San Francisco flirted with success in 1970, 1971 and 1972, when the 49ers won three straight NFC Western division titles. Every year, they were eliminated by the Dallas Cowboys, in the NFC championship games 1970 and 1971 and in the first playoff round in 1972. In 1971, the 49ers moved their home games from antiquated Kezar Stadium to 68,491-seat Candlestick Park.
