Super Bowl LVIII by the numbers
57: The distance in yards of KC kicker Harrison Butker’s third-quarter FG — the longest in Super Bowl history. The feat notably came just after SF kicker Jake Moody set the record with a 55-yarder. Tit meet tat.
61,629: The announced attendance in Sin City last night, making it the least attended Super Bowl ever, outside of the pandemic season.
Second: SF’s Jauan Jennings became the second wide receiver in Super Bowl history to throw a TD and the second player in a Super Bowl game to throw and receive a TD. Get you a player who can do it all.
15: The number of playoff wins QB Patrick Mahomes has in his short seven-year career. Knowing the 28-year-old, there’s a lot more to come for the kingdom.
$9,850: The average ticket price for last night’s game, making it the most expensive Super Bowl in history. That’s what you get for waking up in Vegas.
