NFL kickers continue to make the game look too easy.
Today in Detroit it was Jacksonville kicker Cam Little, who booted a 59-yard field goal after the Jaguars’ first drive to give his team a 3-0 lead over the heavily favored Lions.
A 59-yard field goal used to be almost unheard of in the NFL, but now they happen almost once a week: There have now been nine field goals of 59 yards or longer so far this season.
It was Little’s career long, and it was a bright start for the Jaguars on a day when they’re the biggest underdogs in the NFL so far this season.
