Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers etched his name into NFL history on Sunday, delivering a flawless performance that helped seal the franchise's second Super Bowl title. Myers converted all five of his field-goal attempts to set a new NFL record for the most field goals made in a single Super Bowl game. Beyond the Super Bowl milestone, Myers also became the first player in NFL history to score 200 points in a single season, including the playoffs.

Why it matters

Myers' performance carried deeper meaning as a rare example of Filipino American representation in the NFL. The 34-year-old kicker has spoken openly about his Filipino heritage, which remains limited in professional sports.

The details

Seattle's offense was led by quarterback Sam Darnold, who threw a touchdown pass to AJ Barner, while Kenneth Walker III rushed for 135 yards. But it was Myers' consistency under pressure that steadily widened the gap on the scoreboard, turning every opportunity into points. Before his record-breaking NFL career, Myers was a multi-sport athlete at Mater Dei Catholic High School, where he played varsity football for four years and was named Mesa Kicker of the Year. He also excelled in soccer, winning a state championship and earning San Diego Division IV CIF Player of the Year honors.
