It must be something about Ford Field.
Jake Bates kicked a 64-yard field goal on Saturday to give the Michigan Panthers an 18-16 victory over the St. Louis Battlehawks in UFL play.
If long field goals at the venue sound familiar, that would be because Justin Tucker nailed a 66-yard field goal to give the Baltimore Ravens a victory over the Detroit Lions there in 2021.
The two longest game-winning field goals in both NFL & UFL history were made at Ford Field…
One by NFL legend @jtuck9 for 66 yards, the other a 64-yarder by @jakebates30 who just kicked his first field goal since high school 🤯🤯 pic.twitter.com/8f0S5PHh6s
