Wrigley said:ESPN said the Edinger 56 yard FG against GB was the 2nd longest FG ever kicked to end a game.
Tom Dempsey kicked a 63 yarder as time expired against detriot in the early 70's I belive was the other.
Sure there have been 50-55 yarders kicked to many to mention that also were kicked as time expired.
koidog said:Dempsey's was a game winner as time expired? I didn't know that. Of course it would make sense that they'd only try a 63 yarder at the end of a half or end of a game.
I was too young to recall that kick, but I do remember Dempsey getting a kick blocked and making the tackle. Quite a sight to see.
Mr. Jones said:Speaking for myself way back then I simply could not afford or find a square toed shoe. Soccer style kicking had not come around yet and even remotely accurate kicking straight on with a regular shoe was rather impossible.
