"Little had missed three kicks in the Jaguars last two games -- two 50-plus yard field goal attempts and a PAT -- yet head coach Liam Coen said the team had no plans to bring in another kicker and professed confidence in the second-year player out of Arkansas. Little made a 70-yard field goal against Pittsburgh in the preseason and his previous long during the regular season was a 59-yarder against Detroit last season."
"Little's kick breaks the previous mark of 66 yards, set by former Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 21, 2021. Per ESPN Research there have now been seven field goals of at least 60 yards this season, which is already the most in a single season in NFL history. The previous record was five in 2022 and 2023."
Cam Little kicked a 68-yard field goal as time expired in the first half at Allegiant Stadium, establishing a new NFL record. The previous record was a 66-yarder by Justin Tucker on Sept. 21, 2021. Little had missed three kicks in Jacksonville's prior two games, including two attempts beyond 50 yards and a missed PAT, yet the team kept confidence in him and did not pursue another kicker. Little had made a 70-yard preseason field goal and logged a 59-yard regular-season long last season. Seven field goals of at least 60 yards have been made this season, the most ever.
