The farthest goal in American football history: shot from 60 meters, from the crossbar 🚀

Justin Tucker is a legend.

Last weekend, Baltimore Ravens snatched victory from ” Detroit Lions “: scored field goal , earned 3 points and won 19-17. The fact itself is ordinary, victories at the expense of a field goal at the end of the match are not uncommon. But the blow itself is historical. There have never been such distant goals in the NFL – 66 yards (that’s 60 meters and 35 centimeters)!

Firstly, the kick is spectacular – it is not so often you can see hitting the goal frame, especially the crossbar.

Second, the Ravens took the match with this shot. Even if this is just a regular season game (also against Detroit), the combination of emotions from victory and a record is the highest level. Look again at Baltimore’s players and staff:

Third, it was Justin Tucker who did it. He is considered by many experts to be the best kicker in NFL history. Right now, Justin is the most accurate kicker with 298 goals scored out of 329 attempts, an incredible 90.6%. Justin has 1 Super Bowl win with Ravens in 2012. And now there is also a distance record.

Which, by the way, he himself can beat this weekend. The Ravens go to Denver to see the local Broncos. Denver is a highland, the air is thin there, the ball flies a little further from this. In training, Tucker is said to hit field goals of 68 and even 70 yards, so anything is possible.

Tucker’s leg jokes are in full swing. NFL social media nominated Justin’s right leg into the Hall of Fame.

Who had the previous record?

It was installed in Denver 8 years ago. Matt Praiter – Denver Broncos kicker – scored from 64 yards against Tennessee Titans on December 8, 2013.
