Michael Thomas/AP. The longest field goal in NFL history is 64 yards by Matt Prater of the Denver Broncos in 2013. The longest field goal in NCAA history is 67 yards, accomplished four times, most recently by Tom Odle for Fort Hays State in 1988. The NCAA record for longest field goal without a tee and with the more-narrow modern goal posts is 65 yards by Martin Gramatica of Kansas State in 1998. Nick Rose, a senior kick for the University of Texas just obliterated all of those with an 80-yard field goal in practice (via Yahoo! Sports).
NFL's most unbreakable records. On Sunday, Peyton Manning set a new career mark for most TD passes, topping a record set four years ago by Brett Favre, who broke Dan Marino's record eight years after it was established. Did you follow all of that? Marino retired in 1999 with 420 career TDs. Favre broke that record in 2007, set his career mark of 509 in 2010, and then saw it extinguished in 2014 by Manning. That's a nice little record worthy of adulation (for which Manning received plenty), but it doesn't register among the NFL's most unbreakable all-time records.
