68 yards! Cam Little kicks longest field goal in NFL history

The longest field goal in NFL history was made by Cam Little, who kicked a 68-yarder in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season. This broke the previous record of 66 yards held by Justin Tucker.

Cam Little's record-breaking kick is not the only long-distance field goal he has made. In the 2025 preseason, he kicked a 70-yard field goal, showing his ability to make kicks from long range.

Other kickers have also made long field goals, with Brandon Aubrey and Chase McLaughlin both kicking 65-yard field goals. Brandon Aubrey kicked a 64-yard field goal in Week 2 against the New York Giants in 2025, and also nearly matched Justin Tucker's record with a 65-yard kick in Week 3 against the Ravens in 2024. Chase McLaughlin kicked a 65-yard field goal against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2025.

The record for the longest field goal in NFL history has been broken several times over the years. Before Justin Tucker's 66-yard record, Matt Prater broke a 43-year-old record belonging to Tom Dempsey, who made a 63-yard field goal in November 1970.

## Why it matters The longest field goal record is a significant achievement in the NFL, requiring a combination of accuracy and power. Kickers who can make long field goals are highly valued by their teams, as they can provide a significant advantage in close games. The record is also a testament to the skill and dedication of NFL kickers, who must be able to perform under pressure and in difficult conditions.

The record-breaking kick by Cam Little is a notable achievement, and it will be interesting to see if other kickers can match or break his record in the future. With the increasing talent and skill of NFL kickers, it is likely that we will see more long field goals in the future, and potentially even a new record.
