JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaguars<\/a> kicker Cam Little<\/a> made a 70-yard field goal as the first half expired in Jacksonville’s preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> at EverBank Stadium on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

That would have broken the NFL record had it been made in a regular-season game. Baltimore’s Justin Tucker<\/a> kicked a 66-yarder against the Detroit Lions<\/a> on Sept. 26, 2021. That game was played inside at Ford Field.<\/p>\n

Little celebrated wildly after the kick, which appeared to cross the crossbar with 3 to 4 yards to spare. Travis Hunter<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Someone gave Little the football and he cradled it as he left the field. The field goal cut the Steelers’ lead to 14-9.<\/p>\n
