Jacksonville Jaguars Kicker Cam Little Nearly Breaks His Own NFL Record
Kickers usually don’t get to be the undisputed rockstars of the NFL. They are often the guys pacing on the sidelines, waiting for their singular moment to either become a hometown hero or the subject of angry sports talk radio for the next week. But Cam Little? He isn’t just rewriting the narrative; he’s taking a sharpie to the NFL record books and crossing out names that have stood for decades.
In a moment of pure gridiron absurdity on Sunday, Little lined up from a distance that usually requires a Hail Mary pass, not a kicking tee. With the clock ticking down to zero in the first half against the Tennessee Titans, he blasted a 67-yard field goal that didn’t just clear the crossbar—it cleared it with room to spare.
History Made In Jacksonville
If you thought his 68-yarder inside a dome earlier this season was a fluke, think again. That kick in Las Vegas was impressive, sure, but doing it indoors is like playing golf on a simulator. What Little did against the Titans was different. This was outdoors. In the elements.
By splitting the uprights from 67 yards out, Little officially secured the record for the longest field goal made outdoors in NFL regular-season history. It is a feat that physically shouldn’t make sense. Most offenses panic when they need to gain five yards in nine seconds. The Jaguars just sent out their weapon and let him boom it from their own side of the field.
He now holds the top two spots for longest field goals in league history. Not Justin Tucker. Not Matt Prater. A guy named Little who is making 60+ yards look like a casual warmup routine.
The Titans’ Gift-Wrapped Opportunity
We have to give credit where it’s due, and unfortunately for Tennessee fans, a huge chunk of that credit goes to the Titans’ play-calling.
With just nine seconds left in the half and the ball on their own 49-yard line, the Titans decided to roll the dice on fourth down. Backup Quarterback Brandon Allen, filling in for an injured Cam Ward, couldn’t connect on the pass. The turnover on downs was instantaneous, and it left the Jaguars with excellent field position.
Instead of trying a desperate heave to the endzone, Jacksonville knew exactly what they had in their back pocket. They trotted the field goal unit onto the field, and Little delivered a dagger that extended the Jaguars’ lead to a crushing 31-7 at the break.
Trevor Lawrence’s Legs Steal the Show
While the kick was the headline-grabber, it was the cherry on top of a dominant half for Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence looked every bit the franchise quarterback, snapping his recent drought by tossing three touchdown passes in the first two quarters alone. He connected with Parker Washington, Brenton Strange, and Quentin Morris, dissecting the Titans’ secondary with surgical precision.
Add in a 58-yard interception return for a touchdown by Safety Antonio Johnson, and it was already a blowout. But the emotional toll of watching a 67-yard kick sail through the uprights as the whistle blew? That is the kind of thing that demoralizes a team coming out of the locker room.
