Vinatieri Becomes 1st Player to Score 1,000 Points for Multiple Teams
In addition to kicking the game-winning field goal, Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri reached a key milestone during Sunday's 16-13 overtime win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, becoming the first player in NFL history to score 1,000 or more points for multiple teams, per ESPN.com's Adam Caplan.
The 42-year-old Vinatieri entered Sunday's game with 1,158 points for the New England Patriots and 994 for the Colts, needing just six more to reach 1,000, a number that only 55 players (all primarily kickers besides Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith) have reached in an entire career.
Vinatieri kicked a 54-yard field goal and a successful extra point in the first half, leaving him two points shy of the mark heading into the third quarter.

Following a long stretch of scoreless play, Vinatieri reached the milestone with a 32-yard, game-tying field goal with more than 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Jaguars kicker Jason Myers later missed the potential game-winning kick at the end of regulation, setting Vinatieri up for a game-winner of his own from just 27 yards out in overtime.
The all-time scoring leader for both the Patriots and Colts, Vinatieri has 2,162 career points between the two franchises, leaving him behind only Morten Andersen (2,544) and Gary Anderson (2,434) on the NFL's all-time points list, per Pro-Football-Reference.com.
Among non-kickers, Rice ranks first with 1,256, followed by Smith (1,052), LaDainian Tomlinson (972), Randy Moss (950) and Terrell Owens (942).
