Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos tied Tom Dempsey’s 28-year-old record for the longest field goal ever made on this day in 1998. His successful 63-yard attempt was matched by Sebastian Janikowski earlier this season.
The ball Elam booted for his record 3 pointer and the cleats he was wearing when he kicked it are now housed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. Here they are, courtesy of @BroncosZone.
