Jaguars' Cam Little sends a stunning 70-yard field goal soaring in exhibition match against Steelers
Cam Little's 70-Yard Field Goal Shines in Preseason
In an exciting moment during the preseason game on August 9, 2025, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little made a 70-yard field goal, tying Josh Scobee's franchise record for the longest field goal. However, the feat did not count towards any official NFL records, as the longest successful field goal in a regular-season game remains at 66 yards, set by Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens in 2021.
Little's successful kick was met with excitement on the field, as teammate Travis Hunter greeted him with a midair body-bump. Off the field, Little's phone was blowing up with congratulatory messages and voicemails. Despite the accolades, Little had not seen a replay of the 70-yard field goal even a half hour after the game ended.
Little's long field goal was a significant achievement, considering he had not attempted a field goal longer than 59 yards in his career so far. During the preseason game, he made all his field-goal attempts up to 59 yards. Eight kickers have attempted 70-yard field goals in the regular season, and all of them have failed.
Trevor Lawrence, the Jaguars quarterback, considers Little's ability to make long field goals a significant asset, especially in two-minute drills. Despite the preseason game ending in a loss to Pittsburgh by a score of 31-25, Little's performance was a highlight.
Cam Little, a sixth-round draft pick from Arkansas in 2024, made 27 out of 29 field-goal attempts as a rookie and all 27 extra points. He has already decided to keep the ball from the 70-yard field goal, even if the Pro Football Hall of Fame requests it.
Logan Cooke, the holder, lifted his arms when Little's 70-yard field goal was successful. Scobee, who was at the exhibition game, told Little that he missed the historic 70-yard field goal because he went to the bathroom. The Jaguars teammates reacted with screams and scrambling when Little's 70-yard field goal was successful.
While Little's 70-yard field goal did not break the NFL record, it certainly made an impact. Little stated that he would keep the ball, even if Canton, Ohio, gets another one. The Jaguars will be hoping for more such performances from Little in the upcoming season.
In the preseason game on August 9, 2025, Cam Little's 70-yard field goal marked a significant achievement in American-football, especially when considering he had not attempted a field goal longer than 59 yards in his career. Following Little's performance, sports analysts began discussing the potential impact this could have on NFL's American-football, with some suggesting it could herald a new era for long-distance kicking.
