About Morten Andersen, Hall of Famer

Morten Andersen, nicknamed "the Great Dane," was a Danish-American kicker who spent 25 seasons in the NFL from 1982 to 2007, primarily with the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons. He holds the record for regular season games played with 382 appearances and ranks second all-time in field goals with 565 and points scored with 2,544. Andersen was the Saints' all-time leading scorer with 1,318 points and earned seven Pro Bowl selections. His career included a game-winning overtime field goal in the 1998 NFC Championship Game that sent the Falcons to Super Bowl XXXIII. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017, joining only two other kickers with that distinction.

Did you know? In December 1995, Andersen became the first player in NFL history to kick three field goals of over 50 yards in a single game.
