Sunday, The Ravens Zone in Towson saw significant sales of the number nine apparel and one day later, it's still isn't different.
"(I) completely thought he missed," said Ravens fan Alex Stratton. "And then I saw it stop and drop and I knew it went in and I'm getting texts left and right from family members, from buddies."
It was impressive, to say the least, but just how far is 66-yards?
The Washington Monument in Baltimore is 59.3 yards tall.
The USS Constellation is 179 feet on the deck, that's just shy of 60-yards.
Stratton says Tucker is the "G.O.A.T."
It certainly takes the GOAT to boot a ball 66 yards through the uprights.
