FREE BEER For The Entire City Of Detroit??
Bud Light is trying to turn 2020 around by giving one sports town FREE BEER . . . and they’re letting the most important position in football decide who gets it: Kickers.
This is DEFINITELY intriguing . . .they limited this competition to just two cities: Detroit and Denver. The free beer will be given to the city with the kicker who makes the longest field goal this season.
Screw the record. @thekidmcmanus vs. @MattPrater_5. Whoever kicks the longest field goal this season gets Bud Light for his city, on us. https://t.co/XjOhhVAKGi

So it’s between Lions kicker is Matt Prater and the Broncos kicker is Brandon McManus. And this promotion came about after Brandon said he wanted to break the all-time record for longest field goal this season.
And Matt is included because he currently holds the record, which is 64 yards.
When I break my own record, what are we doing for the city of Detroit? @budlight

For the record, McManus’ personal best is 57 yards, which he did in 2015. He’s said, quote, “I know I can make that, my teammates know I can make that. In training camp, with live rushes, I’ve made it from 73 yards.”
Again, neither player HAS to beat the record . . . just make the longer kick this season. (Before COVID-19 scraps the entire season.)
GO PRATER!! The city of Detroit is behind you!!
