Long-distance field goals in the NFL are becoming commonplace. Here are the longest made field goals in the history of every NFL franchise. Arizona Cardinals : 62 yards; Matt Prater (2021, 2023) Since signing Prater in 2021, the Cardinals have seen target-line graphics move closer to midfield.
They have permitted Prater to try 60-plus-yarders, and he has twice delivered 62-yard makes. Both came at the end right before halftime in games at State Farm Stadium. The first came during a September 2021 game against the Vikings, when Prater's make set a Cardinals record during a 34-33 Arizona win -- one the kicker later sealed with a 27-yard walk-off.
He then hit from 62 during a September 2023 win over the Cowboys. The latter effort helped a 28-16 win for a rebuilding Cards squad, which started 1-8 that season. Atlanta Falcons : 59 yards; Morten Andersen (1995), Matt Bryant (2016) Playing 27 NFL seasons, Andersen soared to the Hall of Fame.
In the process, he became the rare kicker whose second-longest make (59 yards) set a franchise record. Andersen made a 60-yarder as a Saint in 1991, and the southpaw specialist hit from 59 in his first Falcons season four years later. Andersen made the 59-yarder during a Week 17 win over the 49ers, a win that -- due to the terms of the 1994 Jeff George trade -- gave the Colts Marvin Harrison access.
Twenty-one years later, Bryant stepped in to tie the mark. A 59-yarder was a more common occurrence by 2016, but Bryant made the kick -- at age 41. .
