Sunday could be a record day at altitude for the Jaguars' kicker. Jacksonville's Cam Little, who set the NFL record with a 68-yard field goal against the Raiders last season, could threaten the mark again in Denver, per Adam Schefter.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): It could be a record day in Denver for Jaguars kicker Cam Little. Last year Little made a 72-yard field goal during warmups in Denver, he has made a 76-yard field goal in practice, and the NFL record that he set last season with a 68-yard field goal vs. the Raiders could be in Show more
Little has shown a leg beyond that record, too. He made a 72-yard field goal during warmups in Denver last year and has connected from 76 yards in practice, per Schefter — distances that underscore how thin air and a strong leg can combine to produce something historic.
The longer the kick, the more the elements factor in, and Denver remains the NFL's best venue for it. For the Jaguars, the potential for a record-setting afternoon is a storyline layered on top of a normal road test against the Broncos. Little gives Jacksonville a legitimate chance to walk out of the Mile High City with another piece of history, and the team's willingness to let him try anything from deep means the record could fall on any given drive.
