Back in August, Little had scored a 70-yard field goal in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville. The FG, technically the longest in NFL history, did not go down in the official records to replace Justin Tucker's 66-yard kick against the Detroit Lions in 2021.
