Cam Little Shatters NFL Record with 68-Yard Field Goal, Jaguars Win Thrilling Match Against Raiders
In a stunning turn of events, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little broke the NFL record for longest field goal by one yard, kicking an incredible 68-yarder in the first half against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The game ultimately went to overtime, with the Jaguars emerging victorious 30-29.
Little's record-breaking kick, which sailed through the uprights with plenty of room to spare, surpassed Justin Tucker's previous mark of 66 yards set in 2021. It was a remarkable display of accuracy and power from the second-year pro, who had been struggling with consistency just weeks earlier.
Despite missing three of his last four kicks, including an extra-point attempt, Little's coaches remained steadfast in their faith in him. His success in the preseason, where he kicked a 70-yarder, had given them confidence that he could deliver on big moments.
Little's previous career-long was 59 yards, set just two weeks prior against the Detroit Lions. However, it was clear from his performance Sunday that he had gone beyond that milestone. The game-winning drive began with the Jaguars trailing 6-0, but Little's team managed to move the ball down the field and set up the record-breaking kick.
Little added to the drama of the moment by kicking a 33-yarder in the third quarter to tie the game at 6-all, before sending it into overtime with a 48-yarder just seconds before regulation ended. The Jaguars' victory marked a thrilling conclusion to a back-and-forth contest, and Little's record-breaking kick will be remembered for a long time as one of the most impressive in NFL history.
