Tom Dempsey and Jason Elam both kicked 63 yarders and co-hold the record.
On December 8, 2013, Matt Prater of the Denver Broncos kicked a record 64-yard field goal in Denver in a game against the Tennessee Titans. The previous record of 63 yards had been held jointly by Tom Dempsey of the New Orleans Saints and Jason Elam of the Broncos.
If the play starts with time still on the clock, then yes.
no it's just a touchback No. A field goal can only be scored from a placekick or dropkick. The ball has to have made contact with the ground before it was kicked.
Yes. If a field goal is attempted prior to fourth down and the snap is bad, the ball is not kicked, and the offense keeps possession of the ball, the field goal may be attempted on the next down.
A field goal is worth three points regardless of whether it is place kicked or drop kicked.
In 1970, George Blanda was just getting started. He threw a tying touchdown pass with 1:34 remaining and then kicked the game-winning 52-yard field goal in the final seconds the following week in a 23-20 win over Cleveland. George Blanda died September 27, 2010, just last week. But in 1970, Frank Dempsey (with the Chucago Bears) kicked a 63 yard field goal to win the game. So I guess that answer would be FRANK DEMPSEY.
The moment the game-winning field goal was kicked through the uprights during the kickoff was intense and decisive, as the ball sailed through the goalposts, securing victory for the team.
Yes...Tom Dempsey and he was amazing.
