Shedeur Sanders turns heads in preseason debut, tossing 2 TDs<\/p>\n

Shedeur Sanders had the attention of the internet as he tossed a pair of touchdowns in his NFL preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n

Scripps News – KMGH Denver<\/p>\n

Jaguars’ Cam Little kicked a 70-yard field goal vs. the Steelers.He drilled it with room to spare as time expired in the first half.Because it’s the preseason, the kick won’t count as an NFL record.<\/p>\n

His name might be Little, but he has a big, big leg.<\/p>\n

Preseason might not matter, but there still are 120 total yards on the field, there still are two end zones and there still are two goal posts. Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> kicker Cam Little tested the limits of the human leg on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

With time expiring in the first half of the Jaguars<\/a> vs. Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> preseason matchup, Little lined up for a lengthy, 70-yard boot, and he drilled it with room to spare.<\/p>\n

The field goal brought the Jaguars to within a touchdown at the expiration of the half.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While it’s a cool bit of trivia, it won’t be an official stat: Preseason stats don’t count toward any official stat.<\/p>\n

Still, it’s neat that the former Arkansas kicker made a little bit of history on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Longest field goal in NFL history<\/p>\n

The record for the longest field goal is 66 yards, and that was notched by former Baltimore Ravens<\/a> kicker Justin Tucker vs. the Detroit Lions<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n

Little’s 70-yarder won’t be found in record books, however, considering preseason stats don’t count toward official NFL statistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shedeur Sanders turns heads in preseason debut, tossing 2 TDs Shedeur Sanders had the attention of the internet…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[620,634,64,63,7771,48777,1791,596,619,23167,1237,23168,1633,621,637,324,44,593,633,48776,48778,323,335,17600,1792,588,17601,85,635,11499,441],"class_list":["post-59935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-american","tag-american-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cam","tag-cam-little","tag-content","tag-football","tag-hub","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-jaguars","tag-little","tag-national","tag-national-sports","tag-neutral","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-hub","tag-ok","tag-ok-content-sharing","tag-overall","tag-overall-neutral","tag-scores","tag-sharing","tag-sport","tag-sport-scores-u0026-statistics","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-statistics","tag-u0026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
