Had that kick taken place during the regular season, it would have eclipsed the NFL record of 63 yards, at that time shared by Tom Dempsey and Jason Elam. The record also would have survived the later kicks by Sebastian Janikowski (63 yards), David Akers (63 yards), Graham Gano (63 yards), and Matt Prater (64 yards on 8 December 2013) to be broken by Justin Tucker (66 yards, for the record on 26 September 2021). However, being it was a field goal kicked in a pre-season game, Kimrin's 65-yarder did not count as an NFL record.
If the kick had occurred during a regular season game, it would have broken the NFL record of 63 yards, which was shared by Tom Dempsey and Jason Elam at that time. The record also would have remained unbroken by subsequent kicks from Sebastian Janikowski, David Akers, Graham Gano, and Matt Prater (all who achieved 63 yards), until Justin Tucker broke it with a 66-yard kick on September 26, 2021. However, because the kick was made in a preseason game, Kimrin's 65-yarder did not count as an NFL record.
