Baltimore Ravens' Justin Tucker wins game against Detroit Lions on record 66-yard FG [View all]

DETROIT -- As soon as Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker hit the ball, he veered left hoping he was not going to come up short like he did on a couple of 65-yarders in pregame warm-ups.

But, after the ball bounced high off the crossbar and through the uprights, Tucker sprinted down the field, where he was swarmed by teammates and lifted up in celebration.

Tucker's 66-yard field goal -- the longest in NFL history -- lifted the depleted Ravens to a dramatic 19-17 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

"Thankfully, we found an extra yard-and-a-half that I didn't have three hours before," said Tucker, who held the ball from the winning kick in his hand. "I'm grateful for that."
