FRISCO, Texas — A day after Brandon Aubrey missed a go-ahead 50-yard field goal in Indianapolis, Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said there is no issue with his kicker. Schottenheimer spoke Monday at The Star.
With the score tied 20-20 in the fourth quarter, Aubrey pulled the kick wide left after the snap skipped off the turf. The Indianapolis Colts took over at their own 40 and drove 28 yards for a 50-yard field goal that put them ahead 23-20 with 1:37 left.
Long snapper Trent Sieg would like to have one of those snaps back, Schottenheimer said. Since the start of the 2025 season, Aubrey has made 14 of his 24 attempts from 50 yards or longer.
“Certainly he hasn’t made as many as he’d like, but there’s different things that go into that, and I know Trent would like to have one of those snaps back for sure,” Schottenheimer said. “But operationally, we can be cleaner. So there’s nothing, no issue with Brandon. I still, I still believe in Brandon.”
Brandon Aubrey Made Two Field Goals Before Miss vs. Indianapolis Colts
Aubrey made a 45-yard field goal on the opening drive for a 3-0 lead. In the third quarter, he added a 28-yarder after CeeDee Lamb failed to get both feet down on an end-zone catch, and that kick put Dallas ahead 20-10.
The Cowboys got the ball back with no timeouts after the Colts’ go-ahead kick. On the first snap of the final drive, Dak Prescott hit Ryan Flournoy for 46 yards. Javonte Williams scored the winning touchdown on a 1-yard run with 1:08 left.
Aubrey Set NFL Record With 14 Makes From 50-Plus Yards In 2024
Aubrey was a first-team All-Pro as a rookie in 2023. He opened his career 16-for-16 on field goals of 50 yards or longer, the NFL record to begin a career.
In 2024, he made 14 field goals of 50 yards or longer, an NFL single-season record at the time. His 65-yarder against the Baltimore Ravens that season is the longest field goal in Cowboys history.
Aubrey grew up in Plano and played soccer at Notre Dame before a professional soccer career. He kicked for the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL before signing with Dallas.
The Cowboys, now 4-5, host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Nov. 15, at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. CT on FOX.
