Watch Matt Prater's Monstrous NFL-Record Field Goal

What's This?

Matt Prater of the Denver Broncos on Sunday kicked a football between two vertical posts stationed 18-and-a-half feet apart from a farther distance than anyone ever before during an NFL game.

In other words, Prater set an NFL record for longest field goal with his booming 64-yard score against the Tennessee Titans. Here's a video, which the NFL rushed to share on Twitter:

The previous record was 63 yards, so Prater nabbed the record by just one yard. But, as the Broncos' official site notes, "He's made field goals from 70-yards or longer in practice," so sports fans may see an even more astounding record by the time his career is done.
