What we the conditions like when he kicked it? Were the flags moving at all either on the goal posts or around the stadium? That kick looked like it wouldve been good from at least 60, if he has a breeze at his back, we could probably start going for field goals from way out this year.
 
There was a pretty good breeze earlier in the day, but it had died down by that point. Joe Winters on the Jumbotron at halftime said 6-12 mph out of the NW, but I don't think it was that much. The flags looked pretty limp and both kickers were booming their KOs out of both endzones. Still a damn impressive FG.

agree with your observations. Little to no wind at time of 57yarder.
 
I think it would have been good from 65. It cleared the crossbar with plenty to spare.
