Dempsey is most widely known for his NFL record 63-yard field goal, kicked in the final two seconds to give the New Orleans Saints a 19–17 win over the Detroit Lions on November 8, 1970[1]. This record still stands as of the end of the 2008 regular season. (In a 2002 pre-season game, Ola Kimrin kicked a 65 yard field goal; as a pre-season game, it is ineligible for the record.) The record has also been officially equaled once, by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos on October 25, 1998 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Elam kicked his field goal in the thin air of Denver's high altitude Mile High Stadium. Dempsey kicked his at New Orleans' Tulane Stadium which was actually situated below sea level, which implies that the ball was slightly heavier and had heavier air resistance to overcome. He used a straight approach to kick the ball as opposed to the "soccer style" used by nearly all place kickers today.

Dempsey was born without toes on his right foot.

He wore a modified shoe with a flattened and enlarged toe surface. This generated controversy about whether such a shoe gave a player an unfair advantage. In 1977, the NFL added a rule, informally known as the "Tom Dempsey Rule," that "any shoe that is worn by a player with an artificial limb on his kicking leg must have a kicking surface that conforms to that of a normal kicking shoe."

Eagles (1973-1977)
1973 NFL Comeback Player of the Year
​

Gabriel wore the number 18 with the Rams and the number 5 with the Eagles. In the professional ranks Gabriel went on to play 16 seasons in the NFL, splitting time with the Rams and the Eagles. He ranked as the Rams' all-time passing leader with 22,223 yards and 154 touchdowns (1,705 com./3,313 att.) and threw for 7,221 yards and 45 touchdowns (661 com./1,185 att.) with the Eagles.

In 1973 he led the NFL with 3,219 yards and 23 touchdown passes, for which he was awarded the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award. He still holds the Rams' career records for touchdown passes (154), passing yards (22,223), passes attempted (3,313), passes completed 1,705 and wins by a starting quarterback (74).

However, all that came with a cost. From 1962 through 1965, Gabriel had a difficult time securing a starting quarterback job. However, Gabriel did get to start 23 games from 1962 through 1965.

When George Allen came to coach the Rams in 1966, he knew that Gabriel was the best QB the Rams had stated Gabriel was one of the toughest quarterback to beat in the NFL. Gabriel suffered knee injuries as well as shoulder and hip injuries through 1970-1972. Some of that led to the trade to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1973 and was voted to the Pro Bowl for the fourth time, and was voted the "Comeback player of the Year" by Pro Football Weekly.

Gabriel is the only quarterback from his era to still rank high in the "lowest interception percentage" category in NFL passing statistics—Meaning, quarterbacks today avoid throwing interceptions in a way similar to how Gabriel did it a generation earlier. His 3.3% interception percentage will likely last longer, and it may be some time before they can get Gabriel out of the Top 100 of all-time in that category.

Gabriel had a brief career in movies, playing a prison guard in Otto Preminger's 1968 spoof Skidoo and an American Indian named "Blue Boy" in the 1969 John Wayne film The Undefeated.

"Blue Boy"​

Gabriel's dark complexion gave rise to a popular belief that he may really be a Native American, but this is not the case; he is actually Filipino American on his father's side and Irish-American on his mother's. Gabriel had previously appeared as a headhunter in an episode of CBS' Gilligan's Island.

Gabriel's last completion of his career was a 15-yard pass to Vince Papale, the walk-on WR and special-teams captain who is the inspiration for and subject of Disney's movie Invincible,

After retirement from pro football in 1977, Gabriel went into broadcasting as a color commentator for CBS television and, later, Carolina Panthers radio.
He currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
