Rabbit in the NFL Ball Drives 63 Yard Field Goal Debate
The article examines rumors that the Wilson football may have a rabbit cork center enabling longer kicks. NFL officials dismiss the idea as ridiculous, noting the ball is standard and distances stem from better training, practice, and luck rather than a new ball. Tom Dempsey’s 63 yard record is highlighted alongside other long kicks.
