The Raiders have one of the longer-legged kickers in the NFL in Sebastian Janikowski. As such, they're willing to trot him out frequently to attempt absurdly long field goals. Like, say, "61 yards" long.

Now, before you scoff at 61 yards, remember that it's only been successfully hit six times in the history of the NFL (for history buffs: Tom Dempsey and Jason Elam have 63-yarders, Matt Bryant and Rob Bironas have 61-yarders and Steve Cox and Morten Anderson have 60-yarders.) For math buffs, yes, Janikowski now has the third longest field goal in NFL history, which you can witness below.
