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

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.

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.

So close!!

Distance was never my problem....

Must be the thin air.
