49ers' Jake Moody Sets Super Bowl Record with 55-Yard Field Goal

The rookie kicker's record-breaking moment was short-lived as Chiefs' Butker later surpasses it with a 57-yard kick.

49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody sets a new Super Bowl record with a 55-yard field goal, surpassing the previous record of 54 yards.
The record-breaking kick gave the 49ers a 3-0 lead against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII.
Moody, a third-round draft pick, had faced scrutiny for his performance earlier in the season but proved his worth on the sport's biggest stage.
Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker later eclipsed Moody's record with a 57-yard field goal, making Moody's record short-lived.
Despite the brief tenure of his record, Moody's kick highlights the critical role of kickers in high-stakes games.
