McManus Has Best FG Percentage In Broncos History

BUFFALO, N.Y. (CBS4) - There could be a debate as to who the best kicker is in Broncos history.

After McManus's first of his two field goals in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, Broncos Executive Vice President of Public & Community Relations Patrick Smyth tweeted an interesting stat.

Over his career as a Bronco, McManus "has now made 80-of-96 (83.3%) career field goal attempts."

"That's the best percentage in team history."

Long-time Broncos kicker Jason Elam has the NFL record for best extra point conversion at 99.5 percent, but falls short of McManus for field goal percentage.
