Super Bowl: Chiefs' Harrison Butker breaks field goal record set by 49ers K Jake Moody in the same game

[Change The Team Name]

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.
