Prater finally breaks FG record set vs Lions

[zyxt9]

Dempsey, 1970 Saints v Lions sets record 63 yard FG mark, tied many times but not broken until today.

Although Dempsey's kick was made straight on non-soccer style, so I guess that aspect he will hold forever as everyone from here out will be soccer-style kickers.

I saw the kick yesterday in person ...and saw Elam do it and Janikowski as well.

Dempsey in a Dome and the others at Mile Hi ...

And at -5 degrees, Prater was basically kicking a cinder block.

Actually Dempsey's was outside at Tulane Stadium. Elam did it at Denver, Akers was at Lambeau.

Right, I guess Dempsey was outside ...as were the three I saw, as a Broncos ticketholder. Saw Elam (much like Prater, it was going into halftime) and Janikowski and then Prater on Sunday.

Forgot about Akers also tying the mark.

I guess that helps dispell the haters claiming kicking at altitude in 5-degree weather was easy. Prater himself said good from 70yds under 'normal conditions' regarding air temp, etc.
