Bironas Approaching Another Club Record

Rob Bironas provided the game-winning score last week at Buffalo with an extra point. The Titans defeated the Bills 35-34.

Bironas is approaching a team record for consecutive extra points made. The current record holder, Al Del Greco, made 229 consecutive PATs from 1993–2000. Bironas’ effort against the Bills gave him 226 in a row, a streak he began on Sept. 17, 2006.

Most consecutive PATs made, franchise history:

229 – Al Del Greco
226 – rob Bironas
79 – Gary Anderson
76 – Al Del Greco

Bironas Ties Del Greco for Most Game-Winning Field Goals

When Rob Bironas made a 26-yard field goal in overtime last week to defeat the Detroit Lions, it marked the 10th game-winning field goal of his career, tying him with Al Del Greco for first place in franchise history for career game-winning field goals.

Bironas has produced the 10 game-winning field goals in a little over seven full seasons with the Titans. Del Greco produced 10 game-winners from 1991–2000.

The next closest kickers to Bironas and Del Greco are Joe Nedney, Tony Zendejas and Toni Fritsch, all of whom had five career game-winning field goals.

A game-winning field goal is defined as a field goal that is the final scoring play of the game and gives a team the lead in the fourth quarter or overtime.

Most career game-winning field goals in franchise history (includes playoffs):

10 – Rob Bironas 2005-2012
10 – Al Del Greco 1991-2000
5 – Joe Nedney 2001-2004
5 – Tony Zendejas 1985-1990
5 – Toni Fritsch 1977-1981

Bironas Closing in on Franchise Record

The Titans’ media relations staff reports that Titans kicker Rob Bironas has made 18 consecutive field goals entering this week’s game against Detroit. The streak is tied for the fifth-longest in team history.

If he makes two more field goals without a miss, Bironas will tie the franchise record of 20 consecutive field goals, a mark he has already reached twice in his career to tie the record Al Del Greco originally set from 1998–1999.

Furthermore, if he reaches 20 consecutive successful field goals, Bironas will become the eighth player in NFL history to have three or more separate streaks of that length, including the kicker the Titans will face this week, Detroit’s Jason Hanson.

Matt Stover set the NFL mark by making 20 or more consecutive field goals four different times. The others in the group, all with three streaks of 20 consecutive field goals, are Gary Anderson, Morten Anderson, John Carney, Phil Dawson, Hanson, Mike Vanderjagt and Adam Vinatieri.

MOST CAREER STREAKS OF 20 OR MORE CONSECUTIVE FIELD GOALS:

4 – Matt Stover
3 – Morten Andersen
3 – John Carney
3 – Phil Dawson
3 – Jason Hanson
3- Mike Vanderjagt*
3- Adam Vinatieri

* Vanderjagt had a streak of 42 field goals without a miss, which is counted as two streaks of 20-plus field goals.
