Just before halftime of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, kicker Cam Little set a new NFL record by making a 68-yard field goal.

So what was it like in the moments leading up to that kick? Little recently highlighted all that took place in an interview with Jordan Schultz.

“No, I don’t think we did,” Little told Schultz when asked if the team recognized that it could be a record-breaking kick, “especially at the time it was because we had so many opportunities leading up to the game for last-second, last-in-to-halftime field goal, like we’re going to drive down.

Little continued, “I’m obviously preparing regardless of how far the kick is that we’re going to kick a field goal, it’s two-minute situation. I was hitting the ball really well in warmup and they’re like would it be crazy to hit a 60-plus this game? We were joking around on the sidelines about it and then later it ended up happening where I was like, ‘oh shoot,’ we’re about to attempt a 68-yard field goal.

“And Logan (Cooke), my holder, was like, ‘hit it hard man, you’ll make it.’ And so I giggled I was like, ‘yeah, you’re funny man.’ And we obviously went out and made it so it was pretty sick.”

Following a Raiders’ touchdown, the Jaguars began with the ball at their own 31-yard line with only 35 seconds remaining before halftime.

An 18-yard completion from Trevor Lawrence to Parker Washington would put the Jaguars at midfield, which is in Little’s range.

Little then described to Schultz what it was like after the kick was made.

“Oh dude, it was wicked,” Little recalled. “We celebrated at halftime. Liam obviously comes on the field, gives me some love. Obviously, the whole team is fired up at halftime. I think we were losing that game, gathered some momentum back after halftime, and ended up winning that in overtime. A good momentum swing for us for sure.”

Little’s kick cut the Jaguars’ deficit to 6-3 and that juice and momentum from that kick going through seemed to carry over into the second half, where the Jaguars scored 20 more points in regulation.

Jacksonville then won the game in overtime.
