Broncos kicker Brandon McManus 'mad' he missed a shot at NFL history

DENVER -- Brandon McManus was mad. Actually, make that next-level furious, right down to his core.

Because on Sunday, Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio denied the team's veteran kicker a chance just before halftime to try what would have been either a 64- or 65-yard field goal attempt -- a kick that could have tied or set a new record for the longest field goal in NFL history.

McManus initially ran out onto the field because he expected to try the field goal. When coach Vic Fangio opted to keep the offense on the field, McManus walked to the sideline yelling in Fangio's direction, as well as toward special-teams coach Tom McMahon.
