An in-depth look at how the kickers from the Patriots and Seahawks could determine the outcome of Super Bowl 60.
Key Kickers Who Might Influence Super Bowl 2026 Outcome
If you’re gearing up for the Super Bowl, familiarize yourself with Jason Myers and Andy Borregales – both kickers could play pivotal roles in the game’s outcome. With recent history showing that three of the last four Super Bowls have been decided by just three points, a late field goal could very likely sway the result.
The atmosphere of the Super Bowl puts immense pressure on kickers; while some, like Adam Vinatieri, rise to the occasion, others have faltered, such as Scott Norwood. Despite this pressure, recent Super Bowls have seen kickers performing well, with a combined 14 consecutive successful field goals since Super Bowl LVII. Will they extend this streak?

In conclusion, as both these kickers prepare for what could be a fateful night, it remains to be seen whether the Super Bowl’s challenging conditions will affect their performance. Despite the intense pressure, rookie kickers have previously shown an ability to perform well, making this matchup one to watch.
