Justin Tucker set an NFL record in dramatic fashion Sunday afternoon.
The Baltimore Ravens kicker knocked home an NFL-best 66-yard field goal with three seconds left on the clock to beat the Detroit Lions, 19-17.
The previous record for the longest FG in NFL history, set by Matt Prater in 2013, was 64 yards.

Nice. If more players can do this or get close to it, the game would change dramatically.

They could also, in theory, have adjustable goal posts. When a team goes for a kick the upright posts project out 10 yards. Suddenly you can kick a field goal from the 50 yard line with ease.

Heard a fantasy football team name the other day,
“Yippee ki-yay Justin Tucker.”

Kicking that far is not so much an issue, it is the accuracy required. Those damn posts are soooo close together at that range.

Make it like mini-golf.
Put windmill arms in front of the posts, revolving
And the goal posts should move

Maybe it’s time for the nfl’s top players at each position, to be rotated around the league, every week so the Vikings can finally win a superbowl... Moving the goal posts isn’t working.

With the Saints in 1970, he made a 63-yard field goal, setting an NFL record which stood for over 40 years.
I was thinking the same.
To: Berlin_Freeper
The amazing thing is that he did this at sea level.

Congrats!
I have noticed better kicking so far this year than the previous few years. Still plenty of misses and doinks but some long accurate kicks like this one.
