Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker Sets NFL Record With Incredible 66-Yard Field Goal

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker set an NFL field goal record on Sunday, nailing a 66-yard kick with just three seconds left on the clock, beating the Detroit Lions by a score of 19-17. The kick wasn’t pretty, with the football hitting the crossbar before bounced through the goal, but a win’s a win!

You can see the kick here, along with fans reactions when it happened. The previous record for the longest FG in NFL history, set by Matt Prater in 2013, was 64 yards.

Staring at a chance to win an NFL game from an unprecedented distance, Tucker made some adjustments to his normal routine, aiming to launch himself at the ball more aggressively — and from farther away — to add more power to his kick.
