Jason Myers established a new Super Bowl record by successfully kicking five field goals during Seattle‘s commanding 29-13 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday night. Despite not earning the Super Bowl MVP award, Myers’ performance stood out as a critical factor in the Seahawks’ victory. The previous Super Bowl record of four field goals by a single kicker was surpassed by Myers, who made history with his fifth successful attempt late in the game.
Details of the Record-Breaking Kicks
The milestone field goal that set the new record happened just under five minutes before the end of the game, a precise 26-yard kick extending Seattle’s lead to 22-7. Prior to that, Myers had already converted field goals from distances of 33, 39, 41, and another 41 yards. This sequence of successful kicks cemented his place in Super Bowl history as no kicker before him had reached five field goals in a single championship game.
Jason Myers Surpasses NFL Single-Season Scoring Mark
Beyond the Super Bowl record, Myers also set a new NFL season scoring benchmark by totaling 206 points, surpassing all former players. This marked the first time an NFL player exceeded 200 points in a single season. Previously, LaDainian Tomlinson held the top spot for combined regular season and postseason points with 198 during his MVP season in 2006. Myers erased this record thanks to consistent scoring during both the regular season and playoffs.
Regular Season and Postseason Performance Leading to the Record
During the regular season, Myers had already demonstrated his scoring prowess, converting 41 field goals and accumulating 171 points, which led the league in 2025. To surpass Tomlinson’s combined total, Myers needed an outstanding postseason run. He delivered by scoring 11 points, including two field goals, in the divisional round against the San Francisco 49ers and then adding seven points in the Seahawks’ 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship game. Myers entered the Super Bowl having amassed 189 points, making the all-time scoring record within reach but far from guaranteed.
Historic First Half and Continued Success in the Super Bowl
Myers wasted no time tying existing records in the Super Bowl. His three field goals in the first half matched the record for most field goals during a single half of any Super Bowl game. He then set a new high with his 41-yard field goal in the third quarter, establishing him as the first NFL player to reach 200 points scored in a single season. By the third quarter of the championship, Myers had cemented two Super Bowl records, highlighting his exceptional role in the team’s offense.
Recognition and Impact of Myers’ Performance
Despite the historic achievements and his key role in Seattle’s triumph, Myers did not receive the Super Bowl MVP award, which was awarded instead to Kenneth Walker. Had Myers won, he would have been the first kicker ever to receive the honor. Regardless, Myers’ record-setting night underscored his value as one of the most influential players on the field and ensured his name will be remembered in NFL history.
