Denver's Mile High Stadium has long been known as the Mecca of long-field goals.
It's a beautiful afternoon in Mile High City. Due to the explosive crime of Perratta Manning, Dave Broncos has earned a record 10-2 record. Today they are hosting the Tennessee Titans, a team that has lost three of its past four games.
The Titans battled well for the first half hour of gameplay. Tennessee 21, Denver 17, three seconds before Hufffight Enter the name of the Broncos kicker Matt Prater. When he returned to Denver on the 46-yard line, he prepared himself for the play of his life. A powerful kick transmits the ball overaring the ball across the ground as a barbaric crowd holds its breath.
And then the place erupts. Easily, the ball goes through the yellow crossbar in Tennessee's endzone. This is the longest completed field in NFL history, a fully made 64-yard (58.5m) drill. Probably inspired by Prater's valor, the Broncos go on to crush the Titans in the second half, thus clinching a playoff berth.
Higher game What we described on December 8, 2013, happened. Five years later, the 64-yarder of the prter still keeps the record of the all time distance. Although his accomplishments have never been enjoyed, the football fork in Rocky Mountain is nothing new.
The five long goals that NFL achieved have been made in three of the three Denver miles high stadiums. In 1998, the great Jason Elam of Broncos nailed the 63-yard (57.6 m), after 13 years of his achievement in Auckland, Ryder's city and met Sebastian Janikoski, a feat.
But to let some sports fans know, that three kicks should be connected to an asteroid. The official height of the Colorado capital is just 1 mile (1,609 meters) above sea level. Any other NFL city that is sitting anywhere near the height; Runner-up is Glendale, Arizona, which is a little less than 1000 feet (304 meters) above sea level.
The height of Denver affects the incident events there. When a football is kicked off in a Broncos home game, it is worthwhile to cover more distances in San Diego than at lower altitudes. These are not the only three point field goals affecting; The kickoffs tend to go alongside as well.
For his book "Football Physics, Game of Science," Professor Timothy Gay of the University of Nebraska ranks eight different teams from cities (fundamentally) to games like the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots. At least one road game in Denver in the 2001 or 2002 season.
He found that in those two years, when traveling to Denver, travelers from the lower cities enjoyed a large number. In Colorado, their kickoffs average 70.1 yards (64 meters) travel. Back in their respective home areas, that average kickoff distance decreases 62.8 yards (57.4 meters).
