Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little made headlines by setting a new NFL record with a remarkable 68-yard field goal against the Las Vegas Raiders, marking the longest kick in league history. This impressive feat occurred just before halftime, providing the Jaguars with their only points leading to a 6-3 deficit at the break. Little’s kick surpassed the previous record of 66 yards held by Justin Tucker since 2021, despite Little facing a recent slump, having missed four of his last eight attempts. His personal best before this game was a 59-yard field goal.
The Jaguars, led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, utilized Little’s momentum effectively. Lawrence threw for 220 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns, including a pivotal 7-yard scramble in the fourth quarter, which gave Jacksonville a 13-9 lead. The game was a back-and-forth contest, culminating in a tie at 23 after Little converted a 48-yard field goal with just 16 seconds left in regulation, pushing the game into overtime.
During overtime, Lawrence added another rushing touchdown, putting the Jaguars up 30-23, but the Raiders quickly answered with a 2-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith to Brock Bowers, who returned from injury for a standout performance with three touchdown receptions. The Jaguars’ defense, spearheaded by nose tackle DaVon Hamilton, held off the Raiders’ two-point conversion attempt, securing a narrow 30-29 victory.
This win not only snapped a two-game losing streak for the Jaguars but also showcased Little’s resilience and the team’s capacity to perform under pressure, with his record-breaking kick playing a crucial role in their hard-fought victory.
