Chargers score on the first successful fair-catch kick in 48 years
Obscure rule is finally converted into points
The Chargers attempted a fair-catch kick at the end of the half when the fair catch was awarded due to interference.
Cameron Dicker kicked a 57-yarder that was the first successfully converted fair-catch kick since Ray Wersching kicked one in 1976 for the San Diego Chargers. It is the longest successful fair-catch kick on record, and the Chargers are the only franchise to have scored on a fair-catch kick since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.
