Cameron Little made headlines with a remarkable 70-yard field goal during an NFL pre-season game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, showcasing his impressive kicking ability. As the Jacksonville Jaguars trailed 14-6 right before half-time, the 21-year-old kicker took the challenge from well within his own half and successfully split the uprights with the powerful kick, igniting excitement from his teammates and coaching staff on the sidelines.
Although Little’s extraordinary feat is certainly noteworthy, it unfortunately won’t be recognised in the official records, as the regular-season NFL record for field goals is held by Justin Tucker at 66 yards. Nonetheless, the moment has garnered attention from fans and commentators alike, with former NFL kicker Pat McAfee describing the kick as “legendary.” Social media platforms buzzed with reactions, highlighting the impressive nature of Little’s attempt.
In the game itself, the Steelers took the lead with a touchdown from tight end Darnell Washington, going into the half-time break with a score of 14-9. Notably, Aaron Rodgers, a key off-season acquisition for the Steelers, did not participate in this first pre-season outing.
