Even Landry from Friday Night Lights wouldn't have been able to make this kick. Take a bow Matt Prater, after breaking the record for the longest field goal in NFL history yesterday.

The Denver Broncos' kicker struck it over from 64 yards; a feat that left team owner Homer Simpson dancing around with unadulterated glee.
