San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody knocks through the longest field goal in Super Bowl HISTORY… as the 55-yard attempt puts the Niners on the scoreboard first

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody has set a Super Bowl record for the longest made field goal in the game’s history.

His 55-yard attempt put the Niners on the board first as it sailed well through the uprights at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

That kick put his team ahead in the game as San Francisco got on the board first with a 3-0 score.

The previous record was held by Buffalo Bills kicker Steve Christie, who knocked through a 54-yarder to tie Super Bowl XXVIII at 3-3.

Unfortunately for the Bills, they could not win that game – falling to the Dallas Cowboys 30-13 in Buffalo’s fourth straight Super Bowl loss.

Moody now holds the record for the longest kick in the history of the Super Bowl

Moody’s kick is significant, but it comes up just a few yards short of the playoff record for a field goal kick.

Currently, two kicks share the record length of 58-yards. The first came back in 1991 from Miami Dolphins kicker Pete Stoyanovich with the other coming from Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano in 2018.

It’s also plenty far away from the longest field goal ever made – a record currently held by Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker.

He knocked through a game-winning attempt in 2021 against the Detroit Lions from an improbable 66-yards out.
