New NFL Field Goal Kickin Record Set

From ESPN:  It was almost an out-of-place celebration, but when Matt Prater's kick was up and good for the Denver Broncos just before halftime Sunday, most of his teammates rushed the field to mob him in a game the Broncos still were losing 21-20 at the time.

Prater's kick, out of an Aaron Brewer snap and a Britton Colquitt hold, set an NFL record, at 64 yards, and gave the Broncos a tidy boost along the way as they went on to a 51-28 victory at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. And now compare this field goal by Tom Dempsey on Nov. 8, 1970:
