Last week, Matt Prater of the Denver Broncos made the longest field goal in NFL history. The kick went 70 yards. He needed to apply a force that was great enough to get it to travel 70 yards downfield. While the ball was in the air, there was also the force of gravity and the force of the air acting upon the ball. This will always slow the ball down, decreasing the distance it will travel. This is why Prater's kick was so amazing.
