Real nice piece on Prater. Worth checking out the full article (link below).


Prater’s 51-yarder in overtime that sent the Broncos past the stunned Chicago Bears 13-10 on Sunday was his third straight walk-off field goal. It followed his 59-yarder that tied it with 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

He and former Indianapolis Colt Mike Vanderjagt are the only kickers in NFL history to have a 50-yard-plus kick to tie a game and then one to win it in overtime. Vanderjagt did it on Nov. 24, 2002, against Denver.

...

Prater has kicked the game-winning field goal on the last play of regulation or in overtime four times during this stretch. That’s one shy of the NFL single-season record set by his predecessor, Jason Elam, in 2007.

ugghh...being reminded of games like that brings on an unpleasing physical response.


Prater is a beast and all these close victory's has reminded me a lot of Vinatieri and how huge he was in Brady's first year coming in for Bledsoe. How did that season end for them again?...

Nice to finally have great kickers again. Remember the last time that happened in Denver?

I could do without the stud earring, but as long as he keeps making kicks he can look as gay as he wants.

Don't be judgmental, Buff. You know you want one!

I was going to say it might be easier for him to pick up strippers now than it was during training camp. LOL
