Most field goals in a game

Tennessee Titans kicker Rob Bironas made history when he successfully converted eight field goal attempts during a 38-36 win over the Houston Texans on Oct. 21, 2007. Bironas converted field goals of 52, 25, 21, 30, 28, 43, 29, 29 yards. The record kick came as time expired following a 63-yard drive in the final minute led by Titans quarterback Kerry Collins. 

The previous record of seven field goals in a game was first set by Jim Bakken in 1967 and matched four times, most recently accomplished by Shayne Graham in 2007. 

The football from Bironas' record kick is on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
