Cam Little Shatters NFL Record with Stunning 68-Yard Field Goal
You know, it’s not every day we see history being made in the NFL, but this Sunday, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little did exactly that. As the first half was winding down against the Las Vegas Raiders , Little lined up for what seemed like an almost impossible attempt — a 68-yard field goal . And he nailed it. The crowd went absolutely wild as the ball sailed straight through the uprights, setting a new NFL record for the longest successful field goal in history.
To put this into perspective, the previous record stood at 66 yards , set by Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens back in 2021. That one was a game-winner against the Detroit Lions and had been considered nearly unbeatable. But Cam Little has now raised the bar by a full two yards, redefining what’s possible in professional kicking.

What makes this even more remarkable is that this wasn’t Little’s first time showing off his monster leg. Earlier this year, during a preseason matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he actually hit a 70-yarder . That kick was so legendary that his jersey and shoe from that moment were sent straight to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. And now, with this 68-yarder in a regular-season game, he’s officially written his name into the NFL’s history books for real.
The record-breaking moment came after quarterback Trevor Lawrence connected with receiver Parker Washington on an 18-yard pass. Instead of trying a risky Hail Mary before halftime, head coach Liam Coen decided to give his kicker a shot. It turned out to be the right call — a gutsy one that got the Jaguars on the board before the half ended.
This season, long-distance field goals have been a hot topic across the league. The NFL recently tweaked a rule that now allows teams to keep their kicking balls throughout the week to break them in, rather than getting them just before kickoff. It might sound small, but coaches and players have been saying it’s made a big difference — giving kickers more control and confidence in their range. Even defensive coordinators like Vic Fangio have admitted the kicking game has “drastically changed.”
We’ve seen close calls before — Dallas Cowboys’ Brandon Aubrey and Tampa Bay’s Chase McLaughlin both hit 65-yarders — but no one had managed to top Tucker’s 66 until now. And with how Cam Little is trending, that 70-yard regular-season record might not be too far off.
So, in Las Vegas, under the bright lights, Cam Little didn’t just make a field goal — he made history . And the football world is still buzzing about it.
