I just took a look at the numbers for 50 yd+ Field Goals in MFN-1 and was very surprised by what I saw.
Currently there have been 151 attempts with 123 successful kicks. This is an astounding 81.46% from over 50 yds!
In 2013 there were a total of 143 50+ yd FG attempts for the entire season with 96 kicks being made for a success rate of 67.1%.
in MFN-1 thru 8 weeks, we have an average of 18.9 50+ yd FG attempts per week with a 16 week total of 302 if the current rate holds. This seems like too many 50+ yd FG attempts.
In 2013 10 out of the 34 kickers who made a FG had long kicks of 55+ yds with 2 having a FG of over 60 yds. In MFN-1 thru 8 weeks we have 17 out of the 32 kickers with a long FG of 50+ yds including 3 over 60 yds. With 8 weeks to go that number may grow a bit higher.
Here are the MFN-2 numbers thru 11 weeks.
Currently there have been 242 attempts with 204 successful kicks. This is 84.30% from over 50 yds!
In MFN-2 thru 11 weeks, we have an average of 22 50+ yd FG attempts per week with a 16 week total of 352 if the current rate holds.
In MFN-2 thru 11 weeks we have 28 out of the 33 kickers with a long FG of 50+ yds including 5 over 60 yds.
