I've officiated football for over 30 years, now in my 26th on the college level. I've worked NCAA playoffs at the Division II and III level. In addition, I've coached at the scholastic level and have been an educator for over 35 years. I have no interest whatsoever in being an NFL official! Ever!

Can a player block a field goal at the crossbar-assuming he can jump high enough. I feel like if yes, the Lions could have blocked Justin Tuxker’s 66 yard record FG last year.
