The NFL might want to test Greg Zuerlein's right leg after Sunday's game because there's at least a 50 percent chance it's bionic -- and Jeff Fisher knows it.
During the second quarter of the Rams' game in Minnesota, the Rams were faced with a fourth-and-13 from the Vikings' 43-yard line. At that point, Fisher had three choices: He could punt it, go for it or TRY A 61-YARD FIELD GOAL.
Because Fisher has Legatron, he went with option three and this is what happened.
61-yard Field Goal. Not in Mile High. Legatron gonna Legatron. #STLvsMIN https://t.co/p4tPi5uMM3

Legatron went full Legatron.
That 61-yarder from Zuerlein is tied for the seventh-longest kick in NFL history. The crazy thing about the kick is that it happened in Minnesota, which isn't exactly known for its kicker-friendly conditions.
Of the six kicks in NFL history that were longer than Zuerlein's, three of them were kicked in Denver, which is known as a kicker-friendly city due to the thin air. Former Broncos kicker Matt Prater holds the NFL-record, which was a 64-yarder he hit in the Mile High City.
As for Zuerlein, he's having an impressive day against the Vikings. The Rams kicker has hit a total of three field goals.
