The NFL <\/a>preseason isn’t usually filled with exciting moments like we see in the regular season.<\/p>\n

The games are very experimental, with a variety of players usually getting playing time in each game.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to judge a player’s performance in preseason games, but one player just accomplished a feat that is no fluke at all.<\/p>\n

What record was broken?<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, the Jaguars <\/a>played a preseason game against the Steelers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Jaguars trailed 6-14 with a few seconds remaining before halftime when second-year kicker Cameron Little ran onto the field for a field goal attempt, as time expired.<\/p>\n

This wasn’t your average field goal attempt, though. Little was put out to attempt a 70-yard field goal.<\/p>\n

Somehow, he was able to nail the kick perfectly<\/a> through the uprights. Not only did it go through, but it went through pretty comfortably.<\/p>\n

Kickers are one of the few players who can be judged fairly in NFL preseason games. You either have a good leg or you don’t.<\/p>\n

This 70-yard kick not only broke the previous record for the longest converted kick, but it destroyed the record by several yards.<\/p>\n

Justin Tucker kicked an iconic walk-off field goal for an NFL record, 66 yards, in 2021.<\/p>\n

Even for one of the all-time greats like Tucker, it required some luck. His 66-yard field goal bounced off the bottom post and went through the uprights. A little less power from Tucker, and the kick wouldn’t have gone through.<\/p>\n

Little was able to clear that kick by four yards, without even needing the help of a lucky bounce. His 70-yard field goal might have been good from a couple more yards out.<\/p>\n

Little is returning for his second season in the league, after a 2024-25 season where he played 17 games, converting 27\/29 field goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL preseason isn’t usually filled with exciting moments like we see in the regular season.
