Tanner Brown drills two 60-plus-yard field goals in UFL playoff win

Louisville Kings kicker Tanner Brown converted two field goals from 60 yards or longer in Sunday’s UFL playoff win over the St. Louis BattleHawks. His 60- and 63-yard strikes powered a 29-20 victory and secured a place in the UFL championship game against the DC Defenders. The feat — two 60-plus-yard field goals in one game — has never happened in an NFL contest.

Under the UFL’s four-point rule for 60-plus-yard field goals, both conversions carried extra value on the scoreboard. Brown finished with 11 points and further boosted his profile for potential NFL opportunities this summer.

Brown drilled a 60-yarder in the first quarter and followed it with a 63-yarder in the fourth, showcasing rare power and poise in high-leverage moments. While Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey holds the NFL record with six career field goals of 60 yards or more, no NFL kicker has made two in the same game.

Record-setting range lifts Louisville

The Kings’ special-teams edge proved decisive. Brown’s opening-quarter 60-yarder set the tone, and his 63-yard conversion in the fourth widened the gap as St. Louis chased the game. The nine-point margin at the horn reflected those swing moments, with Louisville managing field position and clock while trusting Brown’s leg from distance.

Beyond the headline kicks, Brown’s 11 points underscored sustained execution in a playoff setting. The performance places him squarely in the conversation as one of the top specialists outside the NFL heading into the offseason workout and tryout window.

Two 60-plus conversions in one game

According to league tallies and NFL record logs, no NFL kicker has ever converted two field goals of 60 yards or longer in a single game. Brown’s pair highlights how accuracy at extreme range can reshape late-game scenarios when four-point field goals are in play.

UFL rules and season-long efficiency

Including the playoffs, Brown has converted 27 of 30 field goal attempts this UFL season for a 90% success rate, according to league tallies. He is also a perfect three-for-three from 60 yards or longer across 11 games, combining efficiency and elite leg strength.

Four-point field goals change the calculus

With 60-plus-yard attempts worth four points, coaches can justify aggressive long-range tries without diminishing their degree of difficulty. Brown’s two conversions arrived at critical junctures — early to establish control and late to tighten Louisville’s grip on the result. Elsewhere in the bracket, DC Defenders kicker Matt McCrane connected from 61 yards in a 28-22 win over Orlando, setting up a championship meeting between Louisville and DC.

NFL interest and potential landing spots

Recent seasons show that the UFL and predecessor spring leagues have become credible pipelines for NFL specialists. Notable examples include Brandon Aubrey as well as Jake Bates, Harrison Mevis, Andre Szmyt and Lucas Havrisik. Brown’s accuracy profile, coupled with verified long-range power, puts him firmly on the radar for NFL evaluations.

Analysts have discussed several NFL teams that could seek competition or a long-range boost at kicker, with possibilities including the Giants, Jets, Rams and Dolphins. Whether Brown secures a tryout or a camp invite, his tape from this weekend offers clear evidence of situational poise and elite leg strength — traits that often decide roster battles in August.

Louisville now turns to the UFL championship game against the DC Defenders, where Brown’s form could again be pivotal. Scouts will watch whether his late-season surge continues on the league’s biggest stage.
