On Monday Night Football, the Detroit Lions may have lost to the Green Bay Packers 23-22, but it surely was not the fault of kicker Matt Prater, who drilled five field goals during the game.

Two of those field goals were from over 50+ yards out (51 and 54), giving him a whopping 50 career field goals of 50+ yards. That total puts him in a club with only two other kickers, former Lions great Jason Hanson and The Polish Cannon himself, Sebastian Janikowski.
