Houston’s Ka’imi Fairbairn Ties NFL Record with Historic Field Goal Season

Houston Texans fans have another reason to celebrate. Veteran kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn closed out the season by tying the NFL record for most field goals made in a single year, marking yet another milestone in a memorable campaign for the Texans.

Fairbairn, who has long been a steady presence on special teams, delivered one of the most consistent performances of his career. With precision and confidence, he matched the league’s all-time single-season field goal mark during Sunday’s game. His accomplishment adds a major highlight to a season defined by grit and resurgence across the roster.

Why Fairbairn’s Achievement Matters

Special teams often fly under the radar, but Fairbairn’s production has been a backbone for Houston’s offensive efficiency. Whether the Texans faced stalled drives, high-pressure moments, or long-range attempts, he stepped up repeatedly and delivered. His reliability helped the team stay competitive in tight games and positioned the Texans for several key wins.

For a team continuing to rebuild momentum behind new leadership and rising young talent, having a kicker who can convert nearly every opportunity is a valuable edge. Fairbairn’s performance this season reinforces his place among the NFL’s elite specialists.

What’s Next for Houston

The Texans now head into the offseason with optimism. Between the emergence of breakout players and record-setting performances like Fairbairn’s, Houston is increasingly seen as a team building toward sustained success. Fans will be eager to see whether Fairbairn can continue this level of excellence and potentially set the record outright in seasons to come.
