Lol the big question is what happened to the ball after he chucked it away.
Was one of the refs, the next one to touch it?

Eagles get the TD in the end, but I hope that player gets bull-raped by his team-mates in the locker room or something, just to hammer home the point that you don't do that shit in professional football.

Depends on the kicker obv but about the opponents 35 makes it about a 52 yd kick. Indoors like in Dallas there is no wind so easier. |

If the offense cannot score a touchdown, it may try to kick a field goal. Field goals are worth three points and often are the deciding plays in the last seconds of close games. They can be attempted from anywhere on the field on any down, but generally are kicked from inside the defense's 45-yard line on fourth down. For a field goal to be "good", the placekicker (or field goal kicker) must kick the ball through the goal-post uprights and over the crossbar. The defense tries to block the kick and stop the ball from reaching the goal post.
They don't try them from 60 yards and that as if they miss, the opposing team gets possesion from the point where the field goal is attempted.

I heard last week that they used to have the posts at the front of the end zone like in rugby. Some time in the 80's the posts were moved to the back of the endzone.
The reason was to make it safer near the line (less players bonking their noggins off the posts), and to discourage teams scoring points through field goals as it's less exciting than touchdowns. Good call I think.

The record i believe is 64 yds but these are only really attempted at the end of the half by kicker with big kick in non windy conditions. As it gives the opposition such good field position if you miss.
