Tom Dempsey, NFL kicker who set a record for the longest field goal, dies of coronavirus. He was 73 years old. He was diagnosed with dementia in 2012.
Rip Tom. Great kick from a guy with half a foot. I really wanted him to miss that kick !
I was in a body cast when he made the record field goal in 1970. (19-17)
It was the middle Loss of a three game losing streak that made the lions 5-4 after a 5-1 start.
Lions won the last five games and were the first wild card team for the NFC.
