LOL...Typo
I actually knew it was 1970...he retired in 79, and he did it in his second year, not second to last.

Little known fact about Dempsey's record 63 yarder in 1970...he only connected for 52.9% of his field goals that year.
Also a little known fact is that he wasn't very accurate at all over his career connecting for only 61.6% of his career (might have been 61.9%, but I know I'm close).
