Jacksonville’s TIAA Bank Field was buzzing with anticipation on January 4, 2026, as the Jacksonville Jaguars faced off against the Tennessee Titans in a pivotal NFL matchup. But what truly electrified the crowd wasn’t just the Jaguars’ commanding first-half performance—it was the right leg of kicker Cam Little, who once again etched his name into the NFL record books with a jaw-dropping 67-yard field goal.
With just three seconds left in the first half and the Jaguars already leading, the Titans’ failed fourth-down conversion at their own 49-yard line handed Jacksonville a golden opportunity. Jaguars head coach made a swift call: send out the kicking unit. The decision was a no-brainer, given Little’s recent exploits. The crowd’s roar crescendoed as Little lined up for the mammoth attempt, and, with a smooth, confident swing, he sent the ball sailing through the uprights—no drama, no doubt. The kick was good, and then some, giving the Jaguars a 31-7 halftime lead and sending the home fans into wild celebration.
But this was no ordinary field goal. At 67 yards, it was the second-longest successful kick in the history of the NFL, bested only by Little’s own 68-yarder against the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in the 2025 season. Both of Little’s record-breaking kicks surpassed the previous high-water mark of 66 yards, set by Baltimore Ravens’ legend Justin Tucker in 2021. And while Tucker’s kick was widely hailed at the time as the pinnacle of placekicking, Little has now raised the bar—twice.
“Cam Little now owns the two longest field goals in NFL history,” reported ESPN, highlighting just how rare and remarkable the feat truly is. The 68-yarder against the Raiders came inside the climate-controlled Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, a venue known for its favorable kicking conditions. But Sunday’s 67-yarder in Jacksonville? That was outdoors, in the unpredictable Florida elements, and with the pressure of a playoff push squarely on Little’s shoulders. If anyone doubted his range or his nerve, those doubts have surely been erased.
Let’s put this achievement in context. The NFL has seen its share of legendary long-range kickers: Matt Prater’s 64-yarder in 2013, Tom Dempsey’s iconic 63-yarder in 1970, and a slew of 60-plus-yard bombs in recent years. But never before has a kicker dominated the record books in such quick succession. According to records compiled by major sports outlets, Little’s name now sits atop the list twice, followed by Tucker’s 66-yarder, then a parade of other greats: Brandon Aubrey, Chase McLaughlin, Matt Prater, and more.
What makes Little’s rise even more impressive is his consistency and flair for the dramatic. In the 2025 preseason, he wowed teammates and coaches alike by nailing a 70-yard field goal—though, as preseason stats don’t count toward official records, that bomb remains a tantalizing footnote. Still, the message was clear: Little’s leg is a weapon, and the Jaguars aren’t afraid to use it.
“When you’re the Jaguars with Little on your roster, that makes for an easy decision: Send out the kicking unit,” wrote Yahoo Sports, summarizing the confidence the coaching staff has in their kicker. And why not? With the playoffs looming and every point at a premium, having a player who can reliably convert from distances previously thought impossible is a game-changer.
The impact of these kicks goes beyond the stat sheets. For the Jaguars, Little’s heroics have provided a psychological edge, both for the team and the fanbase. Opposing defenses now know that stopping Jacksonville’s offense just shy of midfield doesn’t guarantee safety; any drive that crosses the 50-yard line could end with three points on the board, courtesy of Little’s booming right foot. That changes how opponents call plays, manage the clock, and approach fourth downs—subtle shifts that can make all the difference in tight games, especially come playoff time.
For Little himself, the accolades are piling up. He’s gone from a promising rookie to a bona fide star, drawing comparisons to the likes of Tucker, Prater, and Dempsey. His ability to deliver under pressure, in both domed stadiums and open-air arenas, has made him a household name among football fans nationwide. And, as every kicker knows, reputation matters: the more opponents respect your range, the more space your offense has to operate.
Of course, records are made to be broken, and the NFL’s history is littered with stories of unlikely heroes and last-second miracles. But for now, Cam Little stands alone, the owner of not one but two of the most jaw-dropping moments in recent league history. “Little stands alone with the two longest kicks in league history,” noted CBS Sports, underscoring the magnitude of his achievement.
It’s not just about distance, either. Little’s 67-yarder came at a crucial juncture, giving the Jaguars a commanding halftime lead and demoralizing a Titans squad desperate to keep their playoff hopes alive. The kick was a statement—not just of individual talent, but of a team that believes in its ability to seize the moment and capitalize on every opportunity.
As the regular season winds down and the playoffs beckon, all eyes will be on Jacksonville and their record-setting kicker. Can Little continue his historic run when the stakes are highest? Will he be called upon to deliver another long-range bomb in a win-or-go-home scenario? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for certain: with Cam Little, no distance is too great, and no stage is too big.
The Jaguars, buoyed by Little’s leg and a surging offense, are poised to make some noise in the postseason. And as NFL fans everywhere marvel at the latest chapter in the league’s kicking lore, one question lingers: just how far can Cam Little go?
For now, Jacksonville celebrates a milestone that may not be topped for years to come. With the playoffs on the horizon and confidence sky-high, the Jaguars and their fans know they have a secret weapon—one that could swing the balance in any game, at any time.
