Cam Little stunned the crowd in Jacksonville with a jaw-dropping 67-yard field goal that helped the Jaguars close the first half with a commanding lead. The boot didn’t just add three points — it rewrote part of the NFL record book and underlined why this young kicker is the story of the Jaguars’ season.
67-yard field goal sets new outdoor mark
Late in the second quarter, the Jaguars trotted Little onto the field and watched him drill a kick from 67 yards. The kick sailed through the uprights and was later identified as the longest successful field goal at an outdoor stadium in NFL history, according to reports from league insiders.

The score put Jacksonville up comfortably at halftime, and the dramatic distance made headlines across sports media. Broadcasters and analysts immediately compared the kick to other historic attempts.
How this sits inside the league’s all-time charts
Cam Little now owns two of the longest kicks ever recorded in the NFL. Earlier this season, he converted a 68-yard field goal that still stands as the longest in league annals.
Key distance milestones
- 68 yards: The longest field goal in NFL history, made by Little in Week 9.
- 67 yards: Now the longest outdoor field goal, and the second-longest overall.
That pair of kicks places Little alongside the most memorable single plays in recent seasons. Few players, let alone kickers of his age, have made such an immediate imprint on the record books.
Young kicker rising fast: background and season form
Little, 22, arrived in Jacksonville as a sixth-round pick in the 2024 draft class. He has been nearly ever-present for the team since signing.
Season and career snapshot
- Age: 22
- Draft: Sixth-round pick, 2024
- Games played: Every game of his NFL career so far
- Field goal percentage entering Week 18: 87.5%
- Extra point percentage: 97.8%
Those numbers underline consistency as well as leg strength. Coaches praise his technique and poise on long attempts. Teammates point to his calm in big moments.
In-game impact and what the kick meant for Week 18
The 67-yard field goal extended Jacksonville’s halftime advantage to 31-7. That came after an earlier 28-7 lead, meaning the kick added insurance before the break.
- Opponent: Tennessee Titans
- Game phase: End of second quarter
- Immediate effect: Added three points and momentum for the Jaguars
Beyond the scoreboard, the successful try reverberated through the stadium and online, with analysts noting both the rarity and the situational boldness of attempting such a long field goal.
Playoff stakes still in play for Jacksonville
A win in Week 18 would secure the Jaguars the AFC South title and guarantee a home playoff game. That would mark Jacksonville’s first home postseason date since 2023.
Jacksonville also remains alive mathematically for the AFC’s top seed. However, that path depends on help from other results — the Broncos and Patriots would both need to lose their Week 18 games.
Broader implications for NFL kicking and strategy
Little’s performance raises questions for opposing coaches and special teams coordinators. Long-range accuracy changes how teams defend late-quarter field position.
- Kickers with proven range force opponents to rethink fourth-down choices.
- Teams may alter their return and coverage alignments for long attempts.
- Wind, turf and stadium type gain renewed attention when evaluating kicker range.
As the season closes, Little’s pair of historic kicks will be dissected for what they mean to roster construction and game planning.
