NFL kicker makes 68-yard field goal

In a remarkable feat, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little broke the NFL record for the longest field goal with a 68-yard kick against the Las Vegas Raiders, surpassing Justin Tucker’s previous record of 66 yards set in 2021. Little had previously hinted at his potential by kicking a 70-yard field goal during a preseason game, though it didn’t count officially. Despite struggling with long kicks earlier in the season, Little’s record kick highlights a trend in the NFL, where kickers are achieving greater success from long distances, aided by new rules allowing teams to break in special “K-balls.” This season has seen a significant increase in successful 50-plus yard field goals, marking a renaissance in kicking performance across the league.
