JACKSONVILLE – Senior writer John Oehser examines five key plays – including a would-be NFL record for kicker Cam Little – in the Jaguars’ 31-25 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 2025 Preseason Week 1 game at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville Saturday
1. Seeeeeeee-veeeeenty yards.
Most preseason plays and games are quickly forgotten. Saturday’s final play of the first half could and should linger in the memory for a while, with Jaguars second-year kicker Cam Little converting the longest field goal in NFL history when from 70 yards seconds after the EverBank Stadium clock turned to 0:00 at halftime.
“I don’t know how much further I can kick it,” Little said with a smile afterward. “I haven’t even seen the kick. I watched the beginning of it, went and showered and now I’m here. It felt really good.”
Little, who had converted at least one field goal from 65 yards in pre-game warmups, kicked toward the pool decks of the North End Zone on the play, which came on third-and-seven from the Jaguars 48-yard line with :01 remaining. The kick from punter Logan Cooke‘s hold was low and twisted easily over the cross bar – and likely would have been good from 72 or 73 yards. Former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker holds the NFL record for longest field goal: 66 yards.
“Cam looked at me and was like, ‘Yeah, I want it,”’ Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen said. “[We] gave it a go and, yeah, that was pretty cool to see.”
