The previous record was 66 yards and he kicked a 68 yarder yesterday. If you don't know already, the NFL changed the rules for kicking balls during the offseason. Since 1999, teams were given "kicking" balls or "K-balls" an hour before the game began, giving staff limited time to break them in. Now teams are given 60 balls at the beginning of the season and they can be broken in as long as they don't deflate, deform, or massively alter the ball. One kicker gave the analogy that previously, it was like they were playing with a new baseball mitt every game. Now they get to use a broken in mitt.While FG length and percentages have been climbing steadily over the years, long FGs have spiked. Kicking 50yd FGs is routine while 60 is the new 50. With records being broken left and right, something tells me that there should be a notation in league records.Thoughts?</blockquote>
