Adam Vinatieri, who was a record-setting performer for the South Dakota State University football program in the 1990s, became the all-time leading scorer in National Football League history Sunday as a member of the Indianapolis Colts.
A Rapid City native, Vinatieri kicked two field goals and four extra points in the Colts’ 42-28 win at Oakland, finishing the day with 2,550 points.
He surpassed the previous mark of 2,544 points by Morten Andersen from 1982-2007. The record-breaking kick was a 25-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the first half.
