Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater wins challenges, earns city free beer

DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions didn't win much on the field this season, but thanks to their kicker and a wager made over the summer, Matt Prater did win the entire city of Detroit a free beer.

Back in July, Bud Light issued a challenge to Prater and Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus -- coincidentally the kicker who replaced Prater with the Broncos -- that whoever kicked the longest field goal this season would win his city free beer.

Prater made a 59-yarder to beat Washington as time expired on Nov.
