SIX THINGS

Today is the 40th anniversary for Tom Dempsey's 63-yard field goal for the Saints, still an NFL record. Only six others have made a kick of at least 60 yards:

• Jason Elam, Den, 63, 1998

• Matt Bryant, TB, 62, 2006

• Sebastian Janikowski, Oak, 61, 2009

• Rob Bironas, Ten, 60, 2006

• Steve Cox, Cle, 60, 1984

• Morten Andersen, NO, 60, 1991

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"There were two guys with handguns and one guy with what looked like a machine gun. It was a pretty scary situation. It's not a very comfortable feeling, not great." -- Jenson Button, the F-1 champ who had to escape from a group of armed men attacking his armored Mercedes before the Brazilian Grand Prix.
