It's crazy how much more accurate field goal kicking has become in my lifetime. I looked on that list for who is the highest percentage kicker that retired before 2000. It's Nick Lowery, at #75. 

Whats even crazier is they are able to be accurate while kicking consistently longer field goals.

I went down a YouTube rabbit hole recently and watched highlights of a Cowboys/Redskins game from the early 90s. At one point the Cowboys committed a penalty that took the upcoming field goal from, I think, 40 yards to 45 yards. The announcer said “They may have just taken themselves out of field goal range.”

That part of the game has certainly changed.
