Also, according to a Tweet from Liu, Crosby's outing last Sunday was the first time in NFL history that a kicker has attempted five field goals -- each from at least 40 yards out -- and made all five.

Crosby field goals came from 40, 42 (twice), 47 and 52 yards out in the 30-13 win over the Vikings. On the season, he is 17-for-19 on field-goal attempts (89.5 percent) with a long of 56. He is still perfect on extra-point attempts (24/24), which were pushed back 15 yards this season.
