Rookie kicker Jake Moody etched his name into the NFL history books in the second quarter of the 49ers' Super Bowl LVIII matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
With San Francisco facing a fourth-and-14 at the Kansas City 37-yard line, coach Kyle Shanahan opted to send Moody out to attempt a 55-yard field goal.
The rookie out of Michigan drilled the kick through the uprights, setting the record for the longest field goal make in Super Bowl history.

Moody's record would be shortlived however, as Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker nailed a 57-yard field goal in the third quarter of Super Bowl LVIII.
Before Moody and Butker's booming kicks on Sunday, the previous Super Bowl record was a 54-yard field goal by Buffalo Bills kicker Steve Christie in Super Bowl XXVIII.
