JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaguars kicker Cam Little made a 70-yard field goal as the first half expired in Jacksonville’s preseason opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at EverBank Stadium on Saturday night.
That would have broken the NFL record had it been made in a regular-season game. Baltimore’s Justin Tucker kicked a 66-yarder against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 26, 2021. That game was played inside at Ford Field.

A sixth-round draft pick from Arkansas in 2024, Little made 27 of 29 field-goal attempts as a rookie and all 27 extra points. His long was 59 yards.
Little celebrated wildly after the kick, which appeared to cross the crossbar with 3 to 4 yards to spare. Travis Hunter was the first person to get to Little and gave him a celebratory chest bump before he was mobbed by the rest of his teammates.
Someone gave Little the football and he cradled it as he left the field. The field goal cut the Steelers’ lead to 14-9. Pittsburgh ended up winning 31-24.
Little finished the game four of four on field goals.
