DETROIT, MI — An NFL record 66-yard field goal from Justin Tucker gave the Baltimore Ravens a walk-off win over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Michigan on Sunday. The Ravens trailed 17-16 with three seconds to go when Tucker nailed the record-setting, and game-winning, kick. The Ravens won, 19-17. No one had ever kicked a field goal that long in NFL history. Tucker's kick broke the record for longest NFL field goal ever that was previously set by Matt Prater of the Denver Broncos in 2013, when Prater connected on a 64-yard kick. Prater's kick broke the record of 63 yards that was tied by four kickers: Tom Dempsey of the New Orleans Saints, David Akers of the Philadelphia Eagles, Sebastian Janikowski of the Oakland Raiders and Jason Elam of the Broncos. Tucker's record-breaking kick came in the same game in which he missed a field goal indoors for the first time in his NFL career.
