Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made the longest fair catch free kick in NFL history at the end of the second quarter against the Broncos on Thursday night.

Dicker made the 57-yard kick on the rarely-used play. It allows a team that just made a fair catch to try for a field goal -- without the opponent trying to block it.
