A good day for New York kickers -- but not the best

It was a good day on Sunday for the New York players who actually put the "foot" in football.

The Jets, meanwhile, were routed 49-9 by the Bengals, with Nick Folk going 3-for-3 in field goal attempts to account for all the Jets' scoring.

All told, New York kickers combined for eight field goals on Sunday.

Pretty good. But not the best total.

That honor goes to Oct. 18, 1981 when Giants and Jets kickers combined for 10 field goals to set the obscure record for most field goals kicked by New York kickers on a single day.

Joe Danelo was 6-for-6 in attempts during a 32-0 win over Seattle for the Giants that day, setting a Giants record for most field goals in a game in the process. The same day, the Jets' Pat Leahy was 4-for-4 during a 33-14 win over Buffalo.
