Then why hasn't Dempsey's record been broken before now?

5. Matt Prater, Denver Broncos place-kicker: Prater broke the NFL record with a 64-yard field goal just before halftime of the Broncos' 51-28 victory over the Tennessee Titans. And immediately, there were calls to qualify the record given Denver's well-chronicled altitude. (I'm told the city sits a mile higher than sea level.) So it's important to note that cold temperatures also impact field goals, and at kickoff Sunday, it was 18 degrees at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Brian Burke of NFL Advanced Stats published this analysis of cold-weather field goal attempts in January 2012, finding that long-distance attempts lose 5 yards of distance for every 30 degrees colder than the ideal. The graph available via the link provides a visual look at the impact. So let's be careful about downgrading Prater's accomplishment.
