The GOAT gets GOATier. Less than a month after setting the record for most career field goals made (566), Adam Vinatieri has passed Morten Anderson to become the NFL’s all-time leading scorer after scoring his 2,547th career point.
It came on a 25-yard field goal, following making an extra point and field goal earlier in the first half. It is the cherry on top of Vinatieri’s 23-year career, which also includes four Super Bowl titles and three Pro Bowl selections.
Vinatieri came into the game with a groin injury, something that caused him to miss several kicks and look awkward last week in the team’s rout of the Buffalo Bills, and him playing wasn’t a sure-thing.
