In a Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Jacksonville Jaguars\u2019 kicker Cam Little drilled a 68-yard field goal at the end of the first half, setting the new NFL record for the longest successful kick in a regular-season game. The previous record of 66 yards was held by Justin Tucker since 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Little, a second-year player selected in the sixth round of the 2024 draft out of Arkansas, had already shown off his leg in the preseason with a 70-yard field goal (not eligible for the official record). Yet he was entering the game amid a bit of a sophomore slump, having missed multiple kicks recently. This 68-yard boot, therefore, marked a major resurgence and a signature moment in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The kick not only made history but also gave the Jaguars their only points in that half, narrowing the score to 6-3 at halftime. It serves as a powerful example of how specialists like kickers can deliver game-changing moments. While the team still faces broader challenges on offense and defense, Little\u2019s feat has elevated both his profile and the team\u2019s outlook for such special-teams momentum going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
