Record FG
Congratulations to Matt Prater of the Denver Broncos, who set an NFL record by kicking a 64-yard field goal at the end of the first half. No word on whether the offensive line was prepared to stop a return, had one been available. --Bob

Re: Record FG
At the opposite extreme, the Eagles-Lions game, played during an 8" snowstorm, had eight touchdowns, but not a single field goal or even an extra point kick. David Akers tried to kick an extra point, but it was blocked.

Re: Record FG
It's that high, dry air. 
Prater’s kick — on a clear day in 14-degree weather with nary a hint of wind — barely cleared the crossbar. He and holder Britton Colquitt jumped in jubilation as their teammates rushed into the tunnel for halftime.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
