Will Reichard Breaks Vikings' Field Goal Record with 62-Yard Kick

On Sunday, September 21, 2025, at U.S. Bank Stadium, Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard made franchise history by successfully converting a 62-yard field goal against the Cincinnati Bengals. This kick, occurring on the final play of the first half, surpassed the previous record of 61 yards set by Greg Joseph in 2022. Initially appearing to veer right, Reichard’s kick curved back just in time to stay inside the upright, demonstrating both distance and precision. The field goal concluded a dominant first half for the Vikings, who entered halftime with a commanding 34-3 lead, tying the franchise's largest halftime lead. Reichard now holds four of the five longest field goals in Vikings history, including the new all-time record. Source

Reichard, a rookie from Alabama, has quickly made a name for himself in the NFL. His impressive performance in the preseason, where he was the only Viking to score points in a game against the New England Patriots, showcased his potential. As the season progresses, Reichard's consistency and leg strength will be crucial for the Vikings' special teams unit.
