On September 21, 2014, Catanzaro kicked a season & career-long 51-yard field goal against the San Francisco 49ers, which represents the longest field goal by a rookie in Arizona Cardinals history.[5][6]
Catanzaro made 29 field goals in the 2014 season, which is the fourth-most in a single season in Arizona Cardinals history, behind Greg Davis (30), Jay Feely (30), and Neil Rackers (40).[7]
On October 26, 2014 he made his 16th consecutive field goal from the start of his career without a miss, setting an NFL rookie record.[8] On November 9, 2014, he extended the streak to 17, but missed his second attempt.[9] This effort tied Kai Forbath for the record for most consecutive field goals to start a career.[10]
