Bizarre stat of the day

[fredtoast]

FG attempts of 50 yards or longer.

AFCN kickers....... 26-29.....  .897% (avg 7.3 attempts)
Rest of NFL......... 84-138....  .609% (avg 4.9 attempts)


McPherson's .818% from 50+ is dead last among AFCN kickers.

I guess that stands to reason when the division has Tucker and McPherson in it.

Context matters here and reveals this stat isn't that bizarre since McPherson has 11 attempts at 50+, more than his AFC North peers. Boswell has 8, Tucker 6, and McLaughlin 4. 

Edit: McPherson has made the most 50+ FGs with 9.

Even more bizarre considering the AFCN is exclusively an outdoors AND cold weather division.

Now that is actually bizarre. No dome or dry climate area stadiums aiding the kicker.
