After Jake Moody's record kick, Harrison Butker came in for one 
of his own

Jake Moody made Super Bowl history on Sunday. And in the second 
half, Harrison Butker followed suit.

Moody recorded the first points of the game early in the second 
period at Allegiant Stadium. He briefly put the San Francisco 
49ers ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs, though the Chiefs rallied 
back in overtime to grab a 25-22 win.

Moody perfectly hit a 55-yard field goal in the second quarter, 
which marked the longest made field goal in Super Bowl history.

In the second half, Butker responded with a record kick of his 
own. He hit a 57-yard field goal, just barely, to cut the 
Chiefs' deficit to four points.

Moody set the record by a single yard in the second quarter. 
Former Buffalo Bills kicker Steve Christie hit a 54-yarder in 
Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994. The Dallas Cowboys beat the Bills 30-
13 in that game in Atlanta. Longtime Baltimore Ravens kicker 
Justin Tucker holds the all-time record, after he made a 66-yard 
field goal in 2021. Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has 
the longest made field goal this season, with a 61-yarder.

Moody, whom the 49ers selected in the third round of last year’s 
NFL Draft out of Michigan, went 21-of-25 in the regular season 
and missed just one extra point. He went 2-of-3 from 50 or more 
yards in the regular season and has a career long of 57 yards. 
He’s now 4-of-6 in this postseason after missing a field goal 
attempt in each of the 49ers’ first two playoff games.

Moody’s field goal capped a 10-play, 46-yard drive for the 49ers 
and marked their first successful drive after they fumbled just 
five plays into the game and then punted on their second 
possession. They jumped up 10-0 on a wild trick play touchdown 
by Christian McCaffrey and entered halftime with a 10-3 lead.

Butker, who is in his seventh season with the Chiefs, cut the 
49ers’ lead to 10-6 in the third quarter. He missed just two 
field goals in the regular season and was perfect on his extra 
points. He hit a 60-yarder earlier this season and holds a 
career long of 62 yards. He has been perfect in the playoffs on 
both extra points and field goals, too.

Moody missed an extra point in the fourth quarter, which allowed 
the Chiefs to tie the game back up. He hit a 53-yarder with just 
1:53 left in the game, however, to give the 49ers a 19-16 lead.

But Butker hit a 29-yarder of his own with six seconds left to 
tie it back up and force overtime.

This marks the second overtime game in Super Bowl history. 49ers 
coach Kyle Shanahan has been in both.

Moody hit a 22-yarder in overtime after the 49ers got the ball 
first, which put them back up by three points.

But the Chiefs responded and scored one final touchdown to grab 
the three-point win in overtime. That gave them their second 
straight Super Bowl win.

Butker finished the night perfect. He went 4-of-4 on field goals 
and made his only extra point. He now has nine Super Bowl field 
goals in his career, which is a record. Moody went 3-of-3 on his 
field goals and split his extra points. He hit both of his field 
goals from 50 yards or further, too, which makes him the first 
kicker in Super Bowl history to hit two or more from that 
distance. The seven combined field goals were the most in a 
Super Bowl, too.
