Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins trolls ESPN over mistake

It’s preseason for everyone. On Thursday night, Washington Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins put his team up 12-3 in the third quarter with a field goal.

ESPN’s notification system let fans know about it, with a “slight” mistake.

Rather than noting Hopkins’ kick was 28 yards, ESPN mistakenly wrote it was a 92-yarder, which of course is an impossible kick. Hopkins must have had someone send him this picture, because on Friday morning he had a bit of fun with it.

I can hardly believe I was involved in this record setting kick! I want to thank my line, @NickSundberg , and @Tress_Way #92yardFG #History pic.twitter.com/DoHchPaPiB

For the record, the longest field goal in NFL history to this point is 64 yards, set by Matt Prater back in 2013 while he was a member of the Denver Broncos.
