We don't even see drop kick PATs anymore, much less field goals. The NFL record is 63 yards, equivalent to the place-kick record, though that was clearly pre-video. Given the fact that the drop kick is a lost art AND that this is a HIGH SCHOOL game from just a couple of years ago, this is AMAZING.

Why not, Mark? They're generally treated like crap by fans who have no clue. They deserve some love.

does Arena Football still have the 4-point drop-kick FG and 2-point drop-kick PAT?

Jay: To the best of my knowledge, the bonus point for drop kick FGs and PATs is still in effect. But it's STILL rarely used. Most teams would rather try to bounce a pass off the net and hope for a good result....
