The 60-yard field goal is a hallowed distance in NFL lore, and the St. Louis Rams' Greg Zuerlein joined that elite fraternity.
Zuerlein — nicknamed "Greg the Leg" and "Legatron" — nailed a 61-yarder against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, which is tied for the seventh-longest kick in NFL history.
The Denver Broncos' Matt Prater crushed a 64-yarder late in the 2013 season to break Tom Dempsey's 1970 mark — one that had been matched three times but never surpassed until Prater did in the thin air of Denver's Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
