Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little's 70-yard field goal against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night would have been an NFL record if it wasn't a preseason game.
Little made the kick at the end of the first half at outdoor EverBank Stadium to close the Jaguars' deficit to 14-9 of what would be a 31-25 Steelers victory in the preseason opener for both teams.
'He wanted it, so we gave it to him,' Jacksonville's first-year head coach Liam Coen said at halftime of choosing to attempt the kick.
The longest field goal in NFL history is 66 yards by Justin Tucker, then of the Baltimore Ravens against the host Detroit Lions on Sept. 26, 2021, at domed Ford Field.
'That was pretty cool for Cam,' Coen said. 'You wish that one would've gone in the record books.'
Little finished 4-for-4 on kicks of 41, 40, 70 and 52 yards and 1-for-1 on extra points.
Jacksonville selected Little, who turns 22 on Aug. 17, in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Arkansas.
Little was 27-for-29 on field-goal attempts (93.1 percent) and made all 27 extra-point attempts as a rookie last season. His longest field goal was 59 yards, and he was 5 of 6 from 50 yards and longer.
