What Super Bowl Records Could Fall in The Big Game?

New records are set in every edition of The Big Game, and these marks could fall in Super Bowl LX

We’re just hours from The Big Game as the New England Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, with a Sunday 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Even though the game is turning 60, year after year we still see countless Super Bowl records fall, with last year’s contest no different. It saw Travis Kelce set the all-time mark for most career receptions in the Super Bowl (35), saw Jalen Hurts rush for the most yards by a QB in a game (72), and saw Patrick Mahomes set the record for most career Super Bowl fumbles (6).

The old saying of “records are made to be broken” is certainly true. Here are some Super Bowl records that could fall in Levi’s Stadium on Sunday.

Drake Maye: Youngest starting QB to win a Super Bowl

The second-year signal caller will be 23 years and 162 days old at kickoff, allowing him to break a mark that has stood for 20 years. It was at Super Bowl XL that Ben Roethlisberger hoisted the Lombardi Trophy just a month shy of his 24th birthday when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle could allow another age-related Super Bowl record if Maye and company can pull off the upset. As soon as the game kicks off, Maye will become the second-youngest QB to start in the Super Bowl, as he will be a month older than Dan Marino in 1985, but Marino’s Miami Dolphins came up short.

New England Patriots: Super Bowl wins or Super Bowl losses

Maye pulling off this feat would also allow his employer to make history. The Patriots and Steelers are the only franchises with six Super Bowl victories, so the Pats can outright lead all teams with another victory. This is New England’s 12th trip to The Big Game, which extends their own record, but their five Super Bowl defeats are also tied for the most all-time, alongside Denver. Thus, another loss would give them the outright lead in that category as well, so the Patriots will make history regardless of the result.

Rashid Shaheed/Marcus Jones: First punt return TD in Super Bowl history

It’s remarkable that with all of the oddities and unique occurrences that have happened in the first 59 years of the Super Bowl, there has never been a punt return touchdown in the game. That could change this year, with the return specialists from both teams having great opportunities to etch their names in NFL history.

Jones of New England tied for the league lead with two punt return scores in the regular season, while Shaheed of Seattle had one during the regular season and has three over his career, which is tied for the third-most among active players. Additionally, both Seattle and New England allowed punt return touchdowns in the regular season which only increases the chances of this happening.

Jason Myers: Most kicking points

Jake Elliott of the Philadelphia Eagles holds the record of 16 kicking points, thanks to four field goals and four extra points in Super Bowl LIX last season. That record could stand for all of 12 months considering the potential game flow of Seahawks vs. Patriots. The Pats rank eighth in yards allowed but fourth in points allowed, so while they’ll allow opponents to move the ball, those teams then usually have to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns. Extra opportunities like that are all Myers needs to make history as he’s coming off one of the most prolific kicking seasons in NFL history.

His 171 points scored this year are the third-most in a single-season in NFL history and the most, ever, by a pure kicker in a single season. Myers’ 41 made FGs are the second-most in a season all-time, while his 48 XPs rank fourth-most this year. Throw in the fact that he already scored 18 points in a game this season, and Elliott’s record could be short-lived.

Cooper Kupp: First non-QB to win multiple Super Bowl MVPs

Six players in the history of The Big Game have won multiple Super Bowl MVP awards—including three who have won it at least three times—and all six players are quarterbacks. Kupp, who won MVP in Super Bowl LVI, is out to etch his name into history with another masterful performance. He had 99 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns when he claimed his first award, and he’s upped his production recently, which gives him a good shot at another.

Kupp led all players in the Seahawks vs. 49ers Divisional Round matchup with 60 receiving yards, and then he found the end zone in the NFC Title Game versus the Rams. He now has seven touchdowns over his last nine playoff games, and if Sunday’s contest is a low-scoring matchup, as expected, then it could be just a single end zone trip which enables a player to take home MVP honors. Only five teams allowed more touchdowns to wide receivers than New England this season, as Kupp could end this stranglehold that QBs have as multi-time MVP winners.
