Cleveland's regular kicker is Matt Bahr. But Cox, a kickoff man and punter, was called on to try the 60-yarder because of his strong leg. He connected on a 58-yarder last year.

Cox kicked his 60-yarder with 28 second left in the first half against the Cincinnati Bengals, giving the Browns a 6-6 halftime tie.

The previous second-best field goal was a 59-yarder by Tony Franklin in 1979.
