Baltimore Ravens soccer player Justin Tucker made history in the NFL, scoring a field goal from 66 yards. In doing so he helped his team achieve success at 19:17 over the Detroit Lions. He scored the longest field goal in NFL history – at the last second.
Football even jumped on the crossbar. From there he jumped over the line – and the field goal was counted. The previous record was 64 yards. Matt Prater took care of this in 2013.
However, German soccer player Jacob Johnson (26) suffered a setback in the NFL with the New England Patriots. On the third day of the game, Foxborough conceded defeat at home at 13:28 to the New Orleans Saints. This was the Patriots’ second defeat of the season for the full-back from Stuttgart.
The Detroit Lions are worse off. Rookie team Amon Ra St. Brown (21) lost to the Baltimore Ravens with midfielder Lamar Jackson in the last second 17:19. Detroit is still waiting for its first win of the new season. Receiver Saint Brown earned a pass of two yards from space.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers had a fierce duel. Chiefs around superstar Patrick Mahomes, Super Bowl 2020 champion and 2021 finalist, had to admit defeat to the guests from California at 24:30. Kansas City still has just one win.
Mahomes hit 15,000 yards faster than any other professional in the NFL. The quarterback only needed 49 games.
