Myers' Five FGs Lift Seahawks to Super Bowl Title
The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29–13 in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium to win the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy. Kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by making five field goals (33, 39, 41, 41 and 26 yards) and scored 17 points, supplying the bulk of Seattle’s scoring. Myers finished the 2025–26 season with 206 points—surpassing LaDainian Tomlinson’s mark and becoming the first player to top 200 points in a single season including playoffs—and went 41-for-48 on field-goal attempts in the regular season. Myers, an undrafted Marist alumnus and two-time Pro Bowler from Chula Vista, emerged as one of the league’s most reliable kickers after multiple early-career stops. Seattle’s defense shut out New England through three quarters and returned an interception for a touchdown, while Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker III and other contributors helped close out the title.
Key Points
Myers was perfect on extra-point attempts in the regular season (48-for-48) and entered the Super Bowl with 171 regular-season points, then added 35 playoff points to reach 206.
Myers' NFL path included nontraditional stops: after going undrafted he worked as a valet and spent 2014 playing Arena Football with the San Jose SaberCats and Arizona Rattlers before signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015.
Seattle originally signed Myers to a four-year, $15.45 million deal in 2019 and later extended him in 2023 with a $21 million contract.
Key offensive game stats: Sam Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown, and Kenneth Walker III rushed 27 times for 135 yards (and caught two passes for 26 yards); Cooper Kupp led Seattle with six catches for 61 yards while AJ Barner had four catches for 54 yards and a touchdown.
