Unlike a normal field goal, the set-up was akin to a kickoff but with a holder, allowing Dicker to attempt the kick without facing a rush.

As fate would have it, Dicker’s 57-yarder was the longest fair catch made FG in NFL history and the first made free-kick FG since the San Diego Chargers’ Ray Wersching on Nov. 21, 1976.

According to the Chargers, the past nine fair catch kick attempts were no good prior to Thursday night.
