LAS VEGAS — Cam Little of the Jacksonville Jaguars broke an NFL record by kicking a 68-yard field goal at the end of the first half against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The Jaguars won 30-29 in overtime.
Justin Tucker had the previous record, a 66-yarder in 2021 that gave the Baltimore Ravens a 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions.
While Tucker’s kick hit the crossbar, Little’s boot had plenty of room as it sailed through the uprights.
Little came into the game having missed three of his last four kicks, including an extra-point attempt. But the Jaguars’ coaches insisted they had faith in the second-year pro, who hit a 70-yarder in the preseason.
His previous career long was 59 yards on Nov. 17, 2024, against the Lions.
Trailing 6-0, the Jaguars started at their own 31 with 28 seconds left in the half and drove 19 yards in three plays. Trevor Lawrence spiked the ball at midfield to set up Little for the record-breaking kick.
Little added a 33-yard field goal with 9:53 left in the third quarter to tie the game at 6-all. His 48-yarder with 16 seconds left in regulation sent the game to OT.
