On Sunday night, when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII the stars were out and made their presence known. No, I am not talking about Patrick Mahomes, Brock Purdy, or Travis Kelce. 

The real stars of the night were both starting kickers, rookie Jake Moody and Harrison Butker. Both of these specialists had major impacts in the game with their strong legs. 

Moody and Harrison handled kickoff along with field goals and extra point duties. On kickoffs, neither allowed a return to be made and finished the game with 13 combined touchbacks. They made sure the opposing offenses did not start with an advantageous field position all game long.

Aside from their field position success, they turned heads through scoring. While their respective offenses were struggling to get into the endzone, both Butker and Moody were integral pieces to the puzzle, helping the teams that went a combined 3-of-8 in the red zone.

Butker and Moody were able to hit big, record-breaking field goals. 

Combined, they were 7-of-7 on field goals with multiple 50+ yarders. In fact, Moody broke a 30-year old record by blasting a 55-yarder through the uprights, something never before seen in a Super Bowl. That lasted minutes, as Butker quickly bested him with a 57-yarder himself.

Both kickers accounted for 10 or more of their team's points in the big game. Butker in particular, who scored 13 of the Chiefs' 25 points, could've had an argument to be Super Bowl MVP considering how he kept Kansas City in the game. 

While other star players get most of the glory, the NFL world shouldn't forget about the efforts of these two. In a game of this magnitude, having reliable, trustworthy kickers is a blessing. These guys proved to the world, that kickers are important but most importantly, they are people.
