Oakland’s Sebastian Janikowski has long had crazy attached to his kicker resume. He was a first-round draft pick – that’s crazy. He has a great nickname – Sea Bass – that’s crazy. And Sunday, he did something crazy by booting a 61-yard field goal, the fourth-longest kick in NFL history. Only Jason Elam, Tom Dempsey, and Matt Bryant have kicked longer ones. So for that, Janikowski is the crazy kicker of the week.
