Tucker: 'I could kick 70-yard field goal'

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker believes that he could break the NFL record for the longest field goal ever.

Tucker fired a 61-yarder through the posts on Monday to hand his side victory over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field and feels that he is capable of breaking the record set by Denver Broncos kicker Matt Prater of 64 yards two weeks ago.

"If I pulled out the eight-degree driver — on a day when I'm feeling real fresh — I could probably hit one from 70 yards," Tucker told USA Today. "I hit one from 70 yards in pregame in Detroit this past Monday night."

The 23-year-old has not missed for the Ravens in his last 33 field-goal attempts.
