Football Records Smashed!

By Bruce Berglund

In football, players pull off some fantastic feats to clinch a win, set a record—or both. In 2021, Justin Tucker kicked a 66-yard field goal to break the record and win the game for the Baltimore Ravens. And no one can top the Miami Dolphins’ perfect season in 1972. In this Sports Illustrated Kids book, young readers can experience these exciting moments and other record-setting plays in football. Fast-paced and fact-filled, this collection of record smashers will delight sports fans with thrilling achievements in football history.
