Tyler Bass just absolutely etched his name into the Buffalo Bills’ history books, drilling a 56-yard field goal on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens to break a franchise record that had stood for nearly two decades. This wasn’t just any kick, it was his 19th consecutive successful field goal, pushing him past Rian Lindell’s 2007 mark and straight into the record books. Talk about a statement!
A Comeback Story Capped by a Record-Breaking Doink
Bass came into Sunday’s game already tied with Lindell at 18 straight, so everyone knew history was on the line. And what a way to do it, right? A 56-yard bomb in the first quarter, even if the source said it “wasn’t the cleanest kick,” still got the job done with a doink off the upright. Who cares if it wasn’t pretty when it puts you solely at the top of the franchise’s longest streak for consecutive regular-season field goals? This streak for Bass actually started way back in the 2024 season, and it’s continued strong through his incredible return to the field this year after missing the entire 2025 season due to injury. What a comeback!
Perfect on Field Goals, Crucial for Wins
This guy has been money all season long. Before this Sunday’s game, Bass was a perfect 13-for-13 on field-goal attempts in 2026. You want to talk about clutch? He kicked four field goals against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6, helping Buffalo snag a tight 33-30 win right before their bye week. And the week before that, against the Los Angeles Rams, Bass nailed a 45-yarder in overtime to seal a wild 37-34 victory. Yeah, he’s missed two extra-point attempts this season, which, sure, you want perfection, but when it comes to field goals, especially that monstrous 56-yarder from Sunday, he hasn’t missed a beat.
Shattering Another Kicking Mark
As if breaking Lindell’s record wasn’t enough, Bass decided to go after another one. That 56-yard boot was his sixth straight field goal from 50+ yards out. That mark actually tied him with Stephen Hauschka’s 2017 franchise record. And then, because he just can’t stop making history, his 51-yarder in the second quarter officially broke that tie, giving him sole possession of *that* record too. This dude is on fire, consistently hitting from deep and winning games for his team.
With Bass kicking like he is right now, splitting uprights and setting records left and right, the Bills are definitely in good hands. Every time he steps onto the field, you know something big could happen, and this kind of reliability is massive for any team looking to keep winning. It’s going to be a blast watching what he does next.
