That is incredible.

Chiefs' Harrison Butker kicks 77-yard field goal on empty practice field

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is able to practice his craft while practicing social distancing, and he posted an impressive video of a practice session.

Someone’s getting drug tested their first day back at the facility... ?

Only way something like that would ever be attempted in a game that counts is on the final play before halftime. And probably not even then, since the kick could be blocked and returned for a TD by the defending team.

before this happened, I had been watching an analytic of why a 90 yard field goal is almost impossible but might be achievable and Butker was part to the presentation.



Nick Rose booted an 80 yarder in practice as a Longhorn (2015).

I mean, I guess that could put a fair catch free kick option on the table for them in the future.

Can you kick FG from a tee ?

I mean, I’ve seen kicks go through the uprights on kickoffs so this doesn’t surprise me at all.

Can you kick FG from a tee ?

I believe the rule was changed years ago to where you can no longer kick FGs off of a tee. Has to be off of the ground.

It’s a trajectory thing. If the snap was a few yards longer then the defense line would be further away then the kicker could kick it Lower and farther. Not sure if there’s a rule prohibiting this from happening.

I guess the drinks are on you... I will be at the clubhouse waiting...

I'd like to see a video of the kick. Did he do it with a three step drop back, or did he do it like on a kick off, with seven steps..?

Makes all the difference in the world.
