But after missing the entire season with a back injury, Oakland decided not to re-sign him. Janikowski finished his career with the Seattle Seahawks in , where he made In Seattle's wild-card loss to the Dallas Cowboys , Janikowski injured his hamstring on a yard field goal miss at the end of the first half.
He had made two shorter field goals earlier in the second quarter, but that miss would be his last attempt in the NFL. Somehow, Janikowski made just one Pro Bowl and zero first-team All-Pro squads during his lengthy career. With Janikowski's retirement and that of Lechler earlier this offseason, there now remains just one active player remaining from the draft: Thomas Edward Patrick Brady. While it's unlikely that Seabass will join Brady in Canton when the kicker becomes eligible, Janikowski will be remembered among Raiders fans and football diehards as one of the most unique, iconic athletes in league history: a kicker who defied expectations for the position and the natural laws of physics.
Doctors told Russell Wilson he'd be out between weeks. That wasn't going to fly for one of the NFL's most maniacal competitors. The 10th-year veteran veteran had never missed a game, much less multiple weeks.
Wilson, as he's wont to do amid adversity, just worked harder. And it's sure to turn quite a few heads. Dallas' banged-up pass-rushing unit has sustained another significant blow in the form of a calf injury to standout edge rusher Randy Gregory.

The kicker position was then left in the hands of rookie Seahawks punter, Michael Dickson , who missed an onside kick that would have potentially put the Seahawks back in position to score and win the game. On September 9, , he was placed on injured reserve due to back issues and Giorgio Tavecchio was signed on from the practice squad to temporarily take his place as kicker.
On February 14, , it was reported that Janikowski would not be re-signed by the Raiders. His father's marriage to an American meant Janikowski could legally emigrate to the United States. He spoke very little English, but learned quickly by taking a three-week night class and by watching television.
Janikowski played in only five games for the Orangewood Christian soccer team, but led them to the Class A State Championship game by scoring 15 goals, where they lost to Lakeland Christian on penalty kicks 3—2. Then living in Orlando, Florida with his father and stepmother, Janikowski joined the Orlando Lions, an under soccer club coached by Angelo Rossi. Rossi was also the soccer coach at Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach, and convinced Henryk that his son would be better off there.
Henryk agreed, but was unwilling to move, so Janikowski moved in with Rossi's family. On September 12, , as a rainy first half against the Denver Broncos came to a close, Janikowski made a yard field goal and tied the NFL record set by Tom Dempsey in and previously tied by Jason Elam and afterwards by David Akers , but which has subsequently been broken by Matt Prater of the Denver Broncos.
On November 27, , in a game against the Chicago Bears, he made 6 field goals of 40, 47, 42, 19, 37, and 44 yards to break the team record of most field goals in a single game. He attempted a record breaking yard field goal on December 18, , against the Detroit Lions, but Ndamukong Suh blocked it to end the game.
On September 28, , Janikowski unsuccessfully attempted a yard field goal against the San Diego Chargers into the heavy wind right before halftime. This is presumed to be the longest attempt in NFL history; though the league keeps no such records on attempts, the longest known attempts previous to this were 74 yard attempts by Mark Moseley and Joe Danelo in On October 19, , Janikowski broke his own Raiders team record, making a yard field goal in overtime to defeat the New York Jets, 16—13, the longest overtime field goal in NFL history.
On December 27, , he again broke his own team record by kicking a yard field goal against the Cleveland Browns before halftime. On January 3, , he reached his 1,th career point with a yard field goal against the Baltimore Ravens.
He is the highest-scoring player in Raiders history. On November 4, , he attempted to kick a yard record field goal before halftime against the Houston Texans on a windless Oakland afternoon in McAfee Coliseum.
If successful, the kick would have broken the all-time NFL field goal record of 63 yards. However, it bounced off the right upright and came back out. This made him at the time the highest paid kicker in NFL history. On October 16, , during the second quarter, Janikowski tied the NFL record by completing 4 field goals in a single quarter.
His kick briefly gave the Raiders a 3—0 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
