Over Under on 'tush pushes' in Super Bowl LIX
USAT NFL reporters Lorenzo Reyes and Tyler Dragon give their thoughts on what the over/under will be for the tush push happening in the Super Bowl.
Sports Seriously
Field goal attempts beyond 50 yards used to be a difficult proposition for even the NFL's best kickers. In recent years, they have changed that narrative, and it has showed up when reviewing Super Bowl stats.
Six of the seven longest field goals in Super Bowl history have come since the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams squared off in Super Bowl 53. Two championship games since then have seen multiple makes from 50-plus yards away, including the Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers matchup in Super Bowl 58, which saw the longest Super Bowl field goal record broken twice.
Who owns the record for the longest Super Bowl field goal? Here's what to know about longest kicks in the Big Game.

Longest field goal in Super Bowl history
Harrison Butker owns the record for the longest field goal in Super Bowl history. The Chiefs kicker set the record in Super Bowl 58 when he made a 57-yard attempt with 5:06 left in the third quarter, cutting the 49ers' lead to 10-6.
Butker broke the record previously held by 49ers kicker Jake Moody. The rookie made a 55-yard field goal to open the scoring in Super Bowl 58, so his record-breaking make was short-lived.
Full list of longest field goals in Super Bowl history
In the NFL's first 58 Super Bowls, kickers made a total of 181 field goals. Only 10 have been from 50-plus yards. Below is a full list of those kicks.

What is the longest field goal in NFL history?
Butker may own the longest field goal in Super Bowl history, but the longest kick in NFL history belongs to Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker. He made a 66-yard field goal at the end of regulation in a 2021 game against the Detroit Lions to give the Ravens a walk-off 19-17 win.

Jalen Ramsey will not be at the Dolphins' minicamp when it opens this week as the two sides continue to search for a trade for the cornerback. The player and team mutually agreed to part ways back in April, but so far, a trade hasn't materialized and it has led to Ramsey opting not to attend mandatory minicamp this week, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday. Jalen Ramsey walks onto the field prior to a game against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field on December 29, 2024 in Cleveland, The NFL insider also indicated that Ramsey would remain away from the team until the situation is resolved. A former All-Pro defender and seven-time Pro Bowler, Ramsey has spent his last two seasons with the Dolphins and appeared in all 17 games last season in South Florida. It would appear that both sides are ready to move on from each other as the organization begins to prepare for the 2025 season. Advertisement Asked about it last week, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters he wasn't paying much mind to it. 'I don't really check in on a day-to-day [basis]. Zero has changed from my end. I let [general manager] Chris [Grier] work, and I'm diligently coaching,' he said. Jalen Ramsey warms up prior to a game against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field on December 29, 2024 in Cleveland, of this comes a season removed from the Dolphins signing Ramsey to a three-year, $72.3 million extension and making him the highest-paid corner in the NFL.

Ramsey did see a dip in his play last season when he missed the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2016. He had 60 tackles, a sack, two interceptions and 11 passes defended.

Todd McShay's Comp for Klubnik? A Rising NFL Star
Todd McShay's Comp for Klubnik? A Rising NFL Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. NFL Draft guru Todd McShay is high on Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik, and he has a compelling NFL comparison that should excite Tigers fans. Advertisement On "The McShay Show," the former ESPN analyst broke down Klubnik's game and saw a striking resemblance to a quarterback who just lit up the AFC West as a rookie: Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix.

Rebilas-Imagn Images "I see a lot of Bo Nix in this kid. I see a lot of Bo Nix in Cade Klubnik," McShay stated. "I think he's great when the initial play breaks down, when he's gotta climb the pocket, when he's gotta side step. It's like soothing to him, which I love that." It's a comparison that carries significant weight. Nix, the 12th overall pick in the 2024 draft, is coming off a stellar rookie campaign where he threw for 3,775 yards and 29 touchdowns for the Broncos. He added another 430 yards and four scores with his legs, quickly establishing himself as a franchise player. Advertisement McShay admits he may have initially overlooked some of the traits in Nix that he now sees in Klubnik. "Watch his arm, like how loose, and the ball, it has more energy than it looks," McShay added, describing a shared "elastic" quality in both quarterbacks' arms. "I said the same thing about Bo, and I put too much emphasis on all the problems at Auburn and not enough on the development at Oregon. I absolutely undervalued Bo Nix." Klubnik, now entering his senior season, is building a resume that justifies the hype. In a dominant 2024 junior year, he was one of only two quarterbacks nationwide to pass for over 3,500 yards and rush for over 400. By the Numbers: Klubnik's 2024 Breakout Advertisement Passing: 3,639 yards, 36 TDs, 6 INTs Rushing: 463 yards, 7 TDs Total Touchdowns: 43 (2nd in FBS) His impressive touchdown-to-interception ratio (36-to-6) was among the nation's best, showcasing the decision-making that has scouts buzzing. The buzz is translating directly to his draft stock. In McShay's Way-Too-Early 2026 Mock Draft, he projected Klubnik as a top-five pick, landing with the Cleveland Browns. "When I'm saying Bo Nix [comp to Klubnik], like look at the size, look at the mobility, look at the elastic arm, look at kind of the chaos pressure stuff," McShay clarified. "I'm not saying the ceiling is Bo Nix. I'm just saying when I watch him, I see a lot of the same stuff." Advertisement As Klubnik enters the 2025 season as a bona fide Heisman Trophy candidate, the comparison to a successful pro like Nix will only amplify the spotlight on the Clemson signal-caller. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 8, 2025, where it first appeared.
