Do you like watching Matt Prater kick long field goals for the Detroit Lions? Do you like free beer?
If you answered yes to both questions, Bud Light and the Lions kicker have a chance to make you a happy fan. And you can thank both Prater’s powerful right leg and his social media persistence.
Bud Light originally made a pledge to buy everyone in Denver a free beer if Broncos kicker Brandon McManus set the NFL record for the longest made field goal. Prater holds that record at 64 yards, a mark he set in Denver back in 2013.
Being the rightful record-holder, Prater butted in on the action and wanted to know if Bud Light would do the same if he broke his own record. It took a couple of days and some prodding from the Pat McAfee Show, but the brewer responded with a win-win situation.
The odds favor Prater; McManus has a career-long of just 57 yards.
May the best man win!
