Lindell also hit 1000 this season. Career points that is.
Bills running back Fred Jackson wasn’t the only player in the team’s season finale that had 1,000 as a goal. While Jackson successfully rushed past the 1,000-yard barrier for the 2009 season, kicker Rian Lindell also surpassed 1,000 in another category. Career points.
The Bills kicker needed seven points in the team’s final game against Indianapolis to reach the 1,000-point plateau and got more than enough to surpass the mark with 12 points in the season-ending 30-7 victory. Lindell had three field goals and three extra points.
His second field goal of the game midway through the third quarter, which also followed three extra points, was what put him over 1,000. Of course Lindell was unaware as to how close he was to the mark entering the final game of the regular season.
