In Jacksonville on Saturday night, the Jaguars experienced an unforgettable moment during their preseason opener at EverBank Stadium against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the final seconds of the first half, kicker Cam Little launched a remarkable 70-yard field goal attempt. Had this kick taken place during a regular season contest, it would have set a new NFL record.
Little admitted that he felt a bit of uncertainty before taking the kick. “I had some doubt,” he explained, noting that long-range attempts were a regular part of his practice during training camp. He added that he and his teammate Logan agreed to try for the long-distance kick, and the excitement of the moment spurred them on as they made the attempt.
After the game, while retrieving the ball from the field, Little mentioned that he had not witnessed the ball clearing the crossbar because his view was partly blocked by his own linemen, given his 6-foot-1 stature. His teammate Logan reacted with visible surprise as he watched the ball soar through the air.
Although the kick did not count for official records because it occurred in a preseason matchup, it remains a noteworthy highlight that revealed the extra effort put forth by the team’s kicker. It remains a cherished memory for teammates.
