Raiders | Sebastian Janikowski still going strong Fri Oct 9, 02:22 PM
Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski will set the team record for most games played in Oakland franchise history in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos, and he isn't showing signs of slowing down at age 37. Janikowski has made all seven of his field goal attempts this year and all 10 extra points. 'You look at my stats?' Janikowski asked. 'That's how I can tell. I'm doing the same thing I did 10 years ago, hitting 60-yarders in warmups before games. I don't see the difference. The more you do, the more you work out, you can be strong.' He's the Raiders all-time leading scorer and needs just five field goals of 50 yards or longer to break Jason Hanson's NFL record of 52. Janikowski has been in much better shape in recent seasons and said he lifts more weights than he did earlier in his career and manages the amount he kicks each week to stay fresh.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders may not be able to score many points against a ferocious Broncos defense on Sunday. We could see more Janikowski if the team is able to move the ball even a little bit in Week 5. |
