Steelers Kicker Sets 60-Yard Franchise Record But Stays Humble With Bold Message for Seahawks
Pittsburgh, PA – September 12, 2025
The Steelers’ thrilling Week 1 win over the New York Jets will forever be remembered for one moment — Chris Boswell’s franchise-record 60-yard field goal that split the uprights with 63 seconds remaining, sealing a dramatic 34-32 victory on opening weekend.
That kick not only delivered Pittsburgh’s first win of the season but also earned Boswell the prestigious AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award, cementing his place in franchise history with the longest successful field goal ever by a Steeler.
Boswell, however, refused to bask in personal glory. The veteran kicker downplayed his record-setting strike, framing it as simply one of those rare flashes that define the razor-thin line between triumph and heartbreak in professional football.
"It was a shot in the dark that found the light," Boswell said. "My teammates and the fans gave me the energy. Without that, the ball never sails through. This wasn’t about me — it was about us."
It was Boswell’s 21st career make from 50 yards or more, but his first to reach the 60-yard milestone. Even so, he admitted he doesn’t want Steelers victories to come down to nerve-wracking kicks that leave fans holding their breath.
Instead, Boswell expressed his desire for Pittsburgh to impose its will early and often, delivering dominant wins that reflect the franchise’s tradition of toughness and excellence. His words underscored the hunger for a season defined by control, not chaos.
That standard now shifts to Week 2, where the Steelers host the Seattle Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium. Boswell promised that his next gift to the fans won’t be another anxious finish, but a win that feels secure from start to finish.
As the Steelers prepare for Sunday, Boswell’s humility continues to shine. Records may come and go, but for him, the true measure of greatness lies in delivering joy — not tension — to Steelers Nation, one victory at a time.
BREAKING: Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Demands Death Penalty After Savage Murder Shocks Nation
Kansas City, MO – September 10, 2025
Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce has erupted with fury over the shocking murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, demanding the death penalty for the man accused of the savage killing on a Charlotte light rail.
Kelce, fresh off another Super Bowl run and known as one of the NFL’s most recognizable stars, unleashed a fiery statement Wednesday, calling the crime “barbaric” and insisting that only the harshest punishment would deliver justice. His words instantly lit up headlines nationwide.
"This was a savage act — absolutely man rợ," Kelce said. "Brown is nothing but an ANIMAL. There’s no choice but the DEATH PENALTY. Nothing else will ever be enough."
The suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, has a long criminal history, with at least 14 prior arrests ranging from robbery to assault. Family members confirmed he suffers from schizophrenia. Despite repeated red flags, a judge earlier this year released him on a simple promise to appear in court.
Prosecutors say Brown fatally stabbed 23-year-old Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, without provocation on August 22. The brutal attack, captured on security cameras, reignited national debates over public safety, bail reform, and how the justice system handles repeat offenders with mental illness.
Kelce’s voice carried weight beyond football. Chiefs fans flooded social media praising him for “saying what needed to be said.” Many echoed his anger, demanding lawmakers fix a system that allowed Brown to walk free before the killing.
Local officials in Missouri and North Carolina acknowledged the outrage, noting that Kelce’s statement reflects the public’s demand for accountability. Legal experts confirmed Brown could face the death penalty under both federal and state charges if convicted.
The NFL declined to comment on Kelce’s remarks, but league insiders admitted his words cannot be ignored. As one of the sport’s most influential figures, his call for ultimate justice has pushed the debate into the heart of America’s living rooms.
Whether prosecutors heed his demand remains uncertain. But one thing is undeniable: when Travis Kelce speaks with this kind of fire, the entire country listens.
