 Though primarily a punter and kickoff specialist, Cox was also used for long field goal attempts.On October 21, 1984, Cox kicked a 60-yard field goal in a game against Cincinnati.The kick was the second-longest field goal at the time (behind Tom Dempsey's record kick), but has since been matched by Morten Andersen, Rob Bironas, and Dan Carpenter and surpassed by Justin Tucker, Jason Elam, Matt Bryant, David Akers and twice by Sebastian Janikowski.
