Ex-Irish kicker boots career-long FG for Indianapolis Colts

Former Notre Dame kicker Spencer Shrader has been one of the shining lights in a lost season for the Indianapolis Colts . Despite the Colts losing 27-23 to the Dallas Cowboys, Shrader racked up 11 points between field goals and extra points. One of Shrader’s field goals was good for 59-yards , which at the time tied the game at 20-20 in the fourth quarter. That FG turned out to be a career higher for the third-year NFL kicker. Shrader’s previous career high from field-goal range were two 58-yarders against the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans earlier in the season. Through nine games, Shrader is 22-of-24 from field-goal range – which is good for 91.7% on successful kicks through the uprights – and 16-of-17 on PATs.
