September 26, 20214 yr buncha different angles from the Texas Football IG:https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTEqffJvtD/?utm_medium=copy_link i still don't understand how this site can't embed IG. Insane. That last cameraman blew it by not tracking the bounce but man that was epic!!!
September 26, 20214 yr Holy shit. Who the hell even tries from that distance? I guess if JT is your kicker…. hope they come up with some angles that show it better
September 26, 20214 yr It was the end of the game so it was either a long ass field goal or a Hail Mary.

September 26, 20214 yr How fitting is it that Tuck breaks the NFL FG record with a got damn Game Winner? Just amazing.

That kick never has. But to answer my own question, KK tried a similar kick today with the former record holder Matt Prater and it got ran back for 109 yard TD. Our man Malcolm Brown had a block on that run back. Crazy day. Edited September 26, 20214 yr by Lhorn
September 26, 20214 yr Popular Post Fun Fact: Justin Tuckers kicked was 19 yards longer than the offensive production from Chicago today.
September 26, 20214 yr tucker topped prater's kick of 64 yards at 13 degrees F and 72% humidity, which is some thick air for denver tucker just went #1 at 601' elevation indoors including dempsey's there are 6 total from 63, with 3 from similar elevations, plus 2 others from 63 in denver
September 26, 20214 yr At late lunch and was looking at my FFL score and noticed I just got beat by Tucker. So as I complain daughter looks it up and says Tucker broke NFL record. Don’t feel bad anymore.

Not much better, though.
September 26, 20214 yr He has to be the greatest kicker ever, right? I can’t think of any kicker off the top of my head who comes even close to him. Vinatieri had more notable moments but he wasn’t nearly as good as Tucker. Edited September 26, 20214 yr by Burt Macklin

Crazy day. That's true, but Tucker changes the calculus for it. With most kickers you wouldn't try it, but his odds of making it were probably higher than them scoring on a hook and ladder or hail mary.

Tucker and game-winning FGs against traditional losers. NAME A MORE ICONIC DUO. And the longest FG in NFL history. Just send him straight to the HOF now. He's just padding his resume at this point.

September 26, 20214 yr Popular Post Tucker improved to 16-for-16 in his NFL career on field goals in the final minute of regulation… with a record breaking 66 yarder. 🤷♂️🤣

I know it's counterintuitive. It's not a big difference, though. It's actually a pretty big difference if you're trying to catch a fly ball. People know that in humid conditions baseballs don't go as far thanks to the humidor at Coors field. But that's because the ball is "wet" and the exit velocity is lower. As you allude to, for a given exit velocity and spin rate the ball travers farther in humid air because humid air is lighter than dry air. So for an outfielder they need to understand that when they read the ball of the bat if it's a humid day it will travel more than on a dry day. Molecular weight of dry air ~ 28.97 Molecular weight of water vapor = 18 That's all you need to know Digression over Edited September 26, 20214 yr by Huckleberry

September 26, 20214 yr Goddamn I love that guy. GOAT by a country mile. Him killing Aggie in our (formerly) last game ever with them was too sweet for words.
