I still remember watching Dempsey's FG of 63 yards. I also remember people saying it would never be broken. I didn't get to see this since the Broncos game wasn't being broadcast here.

Prater's kick broke the previous record of 63 yards, held by Tom Dempsey (1970), former Broncos kicker Jason Elam (1998), Sebastian Janikowski (2011) and David Akers (2012).
Janikowski had also missed on a 64-yard attempt in 2007, and missed a 76-yard attempt in 2008.
