Justin Tucker Hits NFL-Record 66-Yard FG to Give Ravens Wild Win over Lions

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker had a Sunday to remember.

The four-time All-Pro connected on an NFL-record 66-yard field goal to hand his team a 19-17 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 3. The kick bounced off the crossbar before moving through the uprights for the win:

Tucker had missed a 49-yarder in the first quarter, but Ravens fans may have still felt a level of confidence when he lined up at midfield with the game on the line. For his career, he had a 70 percent conversion rate beyond 50 yards and connected from 61 yards out in 2013.

Coincidentally, that was also against the Lions:

Tucker may be prohibited from entry into the city of Detroit in perpetuity after Sunday's game.

In general, fans of opposing teams may as well resign themselves to their fate when the 31-year-old is lining up a pivotal attempt.

Only four kickers are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Morten Andersen, George Blanda, Lou Groza and Jan Stenerud. Adam Vinatieri will presumably be the fifth when he's eligible starting in 2025.

With each season, Tucker continues to build a resume that may earn him a spot among the game's immortals in Canton, Ohio. 

He's the most accurate kicker of all time (90.7 percent), and his 294 made field goals are seventh-most among active players. Tucker's consistency in clutch situations further burnishes his reputation.
