Michigan Panthers kicker and potential Detroit Lions free-agent target, Jake Bates Buck Williams Jersey , was back to looking superhuman once again in the UFL Week 6 game against the Arlington Renegades on Sunday afternoon.Bates, who and has made long field goals look elementary after makes from 64, 62, 55 and 52 yards, had a bit of a rough go of it last week after mi sing two very long field goals (his first mi ses of the season), one from 58 and one from 62. He did rebound later in the game with a 30-yarder, though.Of course, context is important when it comes to last week. Despite some of the absurdly long field goals he's made so far this year, and humans aren't typically expected to make kicks from that long. Adding to that, it was his first outdoor game of the year and there was wind to deal with, adding to the idea that those Wilson Chandler Jersey mi ses were hardly a stain on his sterling 2024 record.Whatever the case may be, Bates returned to form on Sunday against the Renegades and once again showed he's a unicorn.MORE: His first attempt of the afternoon came from 55 yards out, and he easily made it as one Jake Bates does, splitting the uprights. Unfortunately for us Jake Bates "stans" out there, the field goal was called back because of an offside on the defense, which gave the Panthers a first down.A few plays later, Bates was tasked with making a 43-yarder, which is a chip shot for the Arkansas product. As you'd expect, it was good.Here's the one from 55 that was called back:On 4th & 5 the Renegades jump offside and give the us a first down! Kyrie Irving Jersey Michigan Panthers (@USFLPanthers) And the one from 43 that counted:43-yard FG is good! | Michigan Panthers (@USFLPanthers) At the end of the first half, Bates was once again tasked with making an insanely long field goal, this time from 60 yards out and the man absolutely crushed it.JAKE BATES FROM 60 YARDS This man doesn't mi s in Detroit United Football League (@TheUFL) But Bates wasn't done there. He went on to make three more field goals in the second half, including a 49-yarder and then the game-winner as time expired from 42 Tyler Johnson Jersey yards out, making him a perfect 5-for-5 on the day.49-YD FG Bates remains perfect on the day! Michigan Panthers (@USFLPanthers) JAKE BATES FOR THE WIN THE WALK IT OFF United Football League (@TheUFL) The Lions have reportedly , although they have since signed a kicker in and Michigan product, James Turner, who will now compete with Michael Badgley.But that should not prevent Detroit from bringing in Bates, who is quickly proving he's a force to be reckoned with in Ford Field, as all but one of his 12 field goal makes including all three 60-yarders Keven Durant Jersey have come at Detroit's home venue. |
