NFL fans witnessed incredible history on Sunday after Justin Tucker made the league’s longest field goal ever at 66 yards to give the Baltimore Ravens a stunning game winner in Detroit.
Football fans also, rightly, lost their minds after Tucker shocked the world with his NFL record which put the dagger into the hearts of the Detroit Lions.
With just three seconds left in a 17-16 game the Lions were leading, Tucker lined up for the 66-yard field goal. From behind the Lions logo, Tucker made the kick, which hit the crossbar and bounced over and in for the 19-17 lead and the game.
