Here's a cool article I found when trying to find info on Steve Cox.
Cardinals' Rackers achieved in a game what few have done in a season

Cards PK Neil Rackers accomplished in the span of two minutes what no NFL kicker in 11 years had done in a season. Note that Punter Scott Player is in the picture. He could end up being the last NFL player to wear a single bar facemask.
Rackers, who received the ultimate NFL insult when he was released last September by the Bengals, kicked a 55-yard field goal against the Seahawks with 3:01 left in the second quarter of their game Sunday in Tempe.
Then -- after rookie LB Karlos Dansby intercepted Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck -- Rackers kicked another 55-yarder, this one with 1:01 left in the second quarter.
It had been 11 years since any NFL kicker hit two 55-yarders in any season, but Rackers -- whose career field goal percentage of .686 entering the game was the worst among all active kickers with 20 or more career attempts -- made two 55-yarders within 121 seconds of each other.
The last NFL kicker with two field goals of 55 yards or more in a season was Bears PK Kevin Butler, who made 55-yarders against the Vikings on Oct. 25, 1993 and against the Buccaneers on Dec. 12, 1993.
The last kicker to boot two 55-yarders in any month was Steve Cox of the Redskins, who in 1986 made a 55-yarder against the Eagles on Sept. 7 and a 57-yarder against Seattle 14 days later.
The only kicker in NFL history to make three 55's in a season was Broncos PK Fred Steinfort, who in 1980 made a 57-yarder against the Redskins, a 55-yarder against the Seahawks in Seattle and a 55-yarder against Dallas. That's two at altitude and one in a dome, so he gets a Barry Bonds-like asterisk. Oddly, those were the only field goals of 55 or more yards Steinfort ever made in his eight-year career.
Only 16 kickers in NFL history have kicked more than one 55-yard field goal in their career. And only Cox, Steinfort, Butler, Giants PK Ali Haji-Sheikh (1983) and Redskins PK Chip Lohmiller (1990) had done it twice in a season.
Rackers made as many 55-yarders in two minutes Sunday than the entire league made from Week 14 of 1998 through Week 4 of 2001.
He made more 55-yard field goals in the last three minutes of the second quarter than every placekicker in the league made in 1978, 1981, 1982, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1994, 1996, 2000 or 2001.
Rackers' pair of 55-yard kicks Sunday are the only field goals of 55 or more yards in the NFL since Nov. 2, 2003, when Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski made a 55-yarder against the Lions in Detroit and they're only outdoor 55-yarders in more than a year -- since Seahawks PK Josh Brown converted from 58 yards out against the Packers in Green Bay.
Strangely, Rackers in his career has been more accurate from beyond 50 yards (73 percent) than from 40 to 49 yards (50 percent) or even 30 to 49 yards (66 percent). In fact, statistically, he is more likely to connect from beyond 50 yards than inside 50 yards (69 percent).
Which tells us if the Cards are lining up for a short field goal, they may as well commit a couple personal fouls to get into Rackers' range.
