If not for kicker Brandon Aubrey, the Dallas Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Thursday night would have looked even uglier than it was.

Aubrey finished the game 5 of 5 on field goals and made his only extra point attempt. The Cowboys' offense stalled throughout the first half, but Aubrey kept Dallas within range with some big-time kicks.

Aubrey is well regarded as arguably the best kicker in the NFL at this point and one of the best in league history when it comes to long-distance field goals.

While the snowy winter weather came down outside the stadium, Aubrey kicked in comfortable conditions inside.

This is the second time this season Aubrey has set an NFL record, as he became the first player in league history to make five career field goals of 60+ yards during Week 7's win over the Washington Commanders.

Headed into Week 15, Aubrey has gone 27 of 29 on field goals with a long of 64 while hitting 38 of 39 extra points.

Despite Aubrey's incredible performance, the Cowboys will be hoping that they won't need any field goals during the final four weeks of the season as they aim to make a desperate run toward the playoffs.
