Cam Little absolutely demolished the NFL’s longest field goal record in Week 9 of the 2025 season, nailing a ridiculous 68-yarder. Seriously, 68 yards! That’s almost seventy yards, people! We’re talking about a kick that sends jaws to the floor, and frankly, I’m still trying to put mine back in place. It wasn’t completely out of nowhere either, as Little actually kicked a 70-yard field goal in the 2025 preseason, so you just knew it was a matter of time before he made history when it really counted.
Little’s Monster Boot Changes the Game
Before Little’s insane kick, Justin Tucker held the NFL record with a monstrous 66-yard field goal. That was already considered legendary, a kick that felt impossible. But Little just blew past it. Think about the pressure: the crowd roaring, a bunch of huge linemen trying to block you, and you gotta launch that ball with enough power and accuracy for it to travel almost the length of the field. It’s wild. This isn’t just a chip shot; it takes pure, raw power and an insane amount of precision. Little showed he’s got both in spades.
The Kicker Elite: Who’s in the Club?
While Little is now in a league of his own, he’s not the only kicker who has pulled off some truly mind-boggling distances. Brandon Aubrey from the Cowboys has been on a tear, hitting a 65-yarder in Week 3 of 2024 against the Ravens, and then another 64-yard kick in Week 2 of 2025 against the Giants. He even nailed a 63-yarder in 2025. Chase McLaughlin of the Buccaneers also joined the 65-yard club in 2025, kicking one against the Eagles. We’re talking about an exclusive group here, folks. Matt Prater, who broke a 43-year-old record with a 64-yarder back in 2013, has also hit from 62 yards twice with the Cardinals in 2021 and 2023. Even Tom Dempsey, way back in 1970, hit a 63-yard field goal. These guys are just built different, but Little’s 68-yarder is a new benchmark for what’s possible in the NFL.
So what’s next? You have to wonder how long this record will stand. Kickers are constantly pushing the limits, and Cam Little just showed everyone how far the bar can go. Every kick from here on out, especially those from deep territory, will have us wondering if another record is about to fall. The league is officially on notice.
