The Los Angeles Chargers made history on Dec. 19 against the Denver Broncos when kicker Cameron Dicker converted a free-kick for three points to end the first half. At 57 yards, it was the longest fair catch free-kick ever made in the NFL.
What is the free-kick rule, and why is it so rare?
According to the NFL rulebook, a free kick is a kickoff, safety kick, or onside kick that puts the ball in play to start a free kick down.
