Cam Little delivered the best performance of his young career on Sunday, powering the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 30-29 overtime victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. His crucial performance earned him the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. The second-year kicker was flawless in the win, going 3-for-3 on extra points and 3-for-3 on field goals, including the record-breaking 68-yard field goal that instantly changed the momentum of the game. Little’s poise under pressure stood out in a matchup where every point mattered, and his reliability proved decisive as the Jaguars clawed back from an early deficit to escape with a dramatic road win.
Little’s biggest moment came at the end of the second half when he drilled the longest field goal in NFL history. That kick completely shifted the team’s energy. “It was what ignited us, and that confidence from him, from a guy that has been struggling. That was a really special moment for our team, for Cam himself, and for our whole group of guys,” head coach Liam Coen stated. The significance of the kick extended beyond the points on the scoreboard; it restored belief in a player who had faced adversity this season.
Cam Little’s Breakout Performance Comes at the Perfect Time
Little entered Week 9 looking to rebound from several uneven outings, but his showing against the Raiders demonstrated exactly why Jacksonville invested in him as the kicker of the future. His mechanics were crisp, his timing was consistent, and his confidence never wavered, even as the stakes rose.
The Jaguars trusted him fully on the 68-yard attempt to end the half, and Little rewarded that trust with the kick seen around the world. Even in the fourth quarter, with just 16 seconds left in the game and down by three, the Jaguars depended on Little making a 48-yard attempt to send the game to overtime. The 22-year-old delivered with his third field goal of the day to keep Jacksonville’s hopes alive. He then made the PAT following the Jaguars’ touchdown in overtime, which ultimately was the one point the Jaguars needed to win the game. Little’s clutch performance resulted in one of the most impressive special teams efforts the league has ever seen.

The honor marks Little’s first AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award, but based on Sunday’s performance, it likely won’t be his last. His powerful leg and improving accuracy give Jacksonville a major asset in close games, and breaking the league’s distance record this early in his career underscores just how high his ceiling may be. For a Jaguars team determined to stay competitive in a tight AFC playoff race, having a kicker capable of flipping momentum with a single swing of the leg will prove invaluable down the stretch.
Little’s breakout couldn’t have come at a better moment for Jacksonville, and the Jaguars now head into Week 10 with renewed confidence following the big win. If Sunday was a glimpse of what’s ahead, Cam Little may be settling into his role as one of the most impactful kickers in the league.
