Matt Prater, a former star kicker for the Denver Broncos, continues his football career with the Buffalo Bills. He previously achieved an impressive milestone during his tenure with the Broncos, where he set the record for the longest field goal in NFL history.
Matt Prater’s Record-Breaking Field Goal
During the 2013 NFL season, Prater kicked a remarkable field goal from 64 yards. This achievement took place in Denver, known for its high altitude, which can aid kickers. The success of that season allowed Prater to complete an impressive 75-for-75 on extra point attempts.

For eight years, Prater’s 64-yard field goal stood as the longest in NFL history. As of now, it is tied for fifth place on the all-time list. The current record for the longest field goals includes:
