Break out the finest champagne you can find at a gas station, because the record books have been shattered in a way that has absolutely everyone buzzing with… mild interest. In what can only be described as a triumph of participation, Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has become the first player in the glorious history of the NFL to score over 200 points in a combined season and postseason. That’s right. A kicker. The guy whose primary job function is to, you know, score points by kicking.
An achievement for the ages (if you love field goals)
During the 2025-26 season, a year that will surely be remembered for this and literally nothing else, Myers racked up a mind-boggling 206 points. He heroically surpassed the previous record of 198 points held by some guy named LaDainian Tomlinson, a Hall of Fame running back who frivolously wasted his time scoring actual touchdowns back in 2006-07. Myers’ record is a true testament to the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive strategy, which appears to be “get close enough to the end zone to make it look good, then let the grown-ups handle it.” His season total was built on the back of 49 field goals and 59 extra points, which is just a staggering number of times an offense decided, “Nah, we’re good.”
The crowning moment of this… achievement? Super Bowl LX. While the rest of the players were busy running and tackling, Myers put the team on his back, kicking a record-breaking five field goals and scoring 17 of the Seahawks’ 29 points. I haven’t seen a single person carry a team like that since my Roomba carried a single crumb across the entire living room. Truly inspiring stuff.
A journey for the storybooks (the really, really short ones)
Lest you think this man is just a kicking machine, he has a story. Undrafted out of Marist College, he worked as a valet before gracing the Arena Football League. He then bounced from the Jaguars to the Jets before landing in Seattle. It’s a classic underdog story that proves if you just keep kicking a thing, eventually, someone will pay you millions of dollars for it. He even set a record with the Jets for kicking seven field goals in one game, because apparently, no one on that offense could find the end zone with a map and a flashlight.
So let’s all raise a glass to Jason Myers. He has secured his legacy as one of the all-time great scorers in NFL history. He has inspired a new generation of athletes to dream that they, too, can stand on the sidelines for 58 minutes a game and become a legend. It’s a beautiful day for football. And an even more beautiful day for kickers.
