Jaguars kicker Cam Little holds the record for the longest field goal in NFL history at a staggering 68 yards, a bomb he hit last season in Las Vegas. But get this, he also notched the second-longest NFL field goal at 67 yards last season in Jacksonville. If that wasn’t enough, dude kicked a 70-yard field goal in Jacksonville during last preseason, making it the longest in *any* football game. You get it, this guy has a legit cannon for a leg. Now, buckle up, because on Sunday, Little and the Jaguars are headed to Denver, a place infamous for kickers doing wild stuff.

This Guy’s Leg Is Just Different

Seriously, when you’re talking about kicking a football, Little’s name is in a league of its own right now. We’re not just talking about one record; he’s got three of the longest kicks on record in recent memory. The 68-yarder in Vegas? Absolute moon shot. The 67-yarder at home? Just a regular Tuesday for him. And that 70-yarder in the preseason? That’s the kind of kick that makes you wonder if the uprights are even safe. He’s proven, time and again, that he can hit from anywhere.

Mile High Magic and The Hidden Bomb

Here’s where things get really interesting for Sunday’s game. Denver is basically a kicker’s paradise. The NFL’s highest altitude means lower air density, and that translates to about five extra yards on a kick compared to sea-level fields like Jacksonville. Last year, the Jaguars were in Denver, and while Little’s longest *game attempt* was a solid 47-yard make, what he did in pregame warmups was pure insanity. He *made* a 73-yard field goal, after just missing a 75-yard attempt! Think about that: a 73-yarder! We all know making a kick in warmups is different from a game, but that kind of power is just unreal.

So, on Sunday afternoon, when Jacksonville takes on Denver, keep your eyes glued to Cam Little. Will the Jaguars’ offense put him in a position to try a true monster kick? Will he get a shot at a 70-yarder, or maybe even shatter his own NFL record with something truly legendary? We’ll have to wait and see if the situation arises, but knowing what he’s capable of at altitude, it’s gonna be must-watch football.
