- Jaguars kicker Cam Little made an NFL-record 68-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, breaking Justin Tucker’s 66-yard record from 2021.
- Little had missed three of his last four kicks heading into Sunday’s game against the Raiders, but coaches kept faith in the second-year kicker.
- Unlike Tucker’s record kick that bounced off the crossbar, Little’s 68-yarder sailed cleanly through with plenty of room to spare.
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.
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.
Justin Herbert scores three touchdowns and passes for 250 yards but is sacked six times as another injury to Chargers’ offensive line proves costly.
