Jaguars’ Cam Little kicked a 70-yard field goal vs. the Steelers.
He drilled it with room to spare as time expired in the first half.
Because it’s the preseason, the kick won’t count as an NFL record.
His name might be Little, but he has a big, big leg.
Preseason might not matter, but there still are 120 total yards on the field, there still are two end zones and there still are two goal posts. Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little tested the limits of the human leg on Saturday night.
With time expiring in the first half of the Jaguars vs. Pittsburgh Steelers preseason matchup, Little lined up for a lengthy, 70-yard boot, and he drilled it with room to spare.
The field goal brought the Jaguars to within a touchdown at the expiration of the half.
While it’s a cool bit of trivia, it won’t be an official stat: Preseason stats don’t count toward any official stat.
Still, it’s neat that the former Arkansas kicker made a little bit of history on Saturday night.
Longest field goal in NFL history
The record for the longest field goal is 66 yards, and that was notched by former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker vs. the Detroit Lions in 2021.
Little’s 70-yarder won’t be found in record books, however, considering preseason stats don’t count toward official NFL statistics.
