The longest field goal kick in NFL history is 65 yards made by Ola Kimrin of the Denver Broncos they won the game with a score of 31-0 against the Seattle Seahaws in August 29, 2002 during a preseason game. During the early days of football, kicking was emphasized highly.
In 1883 the scoring system was used and field goals were given 5 points while touchdowns and conversions scored 3 each. In 1897, touchdown was given 5 points and the conversion was down to 1 point. In 1904 the field goal was 4 points changed to the modern 3 points in 1909. The touchdown was altered to 6 points in 1912 in American football but Canada did not change this until 1956. The conversion was spotted in the 3-yard line in 1924. In 1928 it was adjusted to the 5-yard line and in 1929 it was again adjusted to the 2-yard line. Finally, in 1968 it is back to the 3-yard line.
