In 1994, Buffalo Bills place-kicking legend Steve Christie established an NFL Super Bowl record-long field goal of 54 yards during Super Bowl XXVIII — a mark that stood for 31 seasons.
On Sunday, February 11, in Super Bowl LVIII, Christie’s record was finally surpassed by San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody during the second quarter of action. Moody, whose rookie postseason featured plenty of drama due to misses, booted from 55-yards out to give the 49ers a 3-0 lead. That’s nearly two generations between Christie’s kick and the new record.
