Longest Missed Field Goals, 1985-2015 (updated)

As far as I can tell, there are no league-wide official records kept for length of missed field goals. The following list is complete for 1985-2015, but there have been longer misses in the past (see the Moseley and Steinfort fair catch kicks). (Update 9/28/08: NBC has confirmed that Janikowski's 76-yard attempt was the longest since at least 1970, and that Moseley's 74-yarder was the previous long.) Note that 5 of the kicks took place in Denver. Longest missed field goal attempts, NFL, 1985-2015: Kicker Team Length Result Date How Missed?
