Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee apparently just broke the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest blindfolded field goal made in American Football history:
No word yet on the official distance, but the “Boomstick” apparently made it on his first try, while taking part in NFL Super Bowl 50 festivities:

Additionally, McAfee was taking part in his usual punting gig, as he looked to strike on-field targets from a significant distance:

The Colts eccentric punter was already excited about his latest record-breaking achievement, as he updated his Twitter profile to include “Guinness World Record Holder”:

However, the question for head coach Chuck Pagano now is whether we’ll ever get to see McAfee attempt a field goal in a real game–as he’s currently a world record holder at the craft.
