Cam Little hit a 70-yard field goal on the final play of the first half at EverBank Stadium on August 9, 2025, a kick that would have shattered Justin Tucker’s NFL record under regular-season rules. It was the most talked-about moment of the night, yet Jacksonville went home with the loss. Skylar Thompson threw three touchdown passes off the bench and Pittsburgh’s backup quarterbacks combined for a 135.5 passer rating as the Steelers beat the Jaguars 31-25 in Preseason Week 1, handing first-year head coach Liam Coen a rough debut and giving Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter his first NFL snaps on both sides of the ball.

The Steelers vs Jaguars Preseason Week 1 box score told two separate stories in the same 60 minutes. Pittsburgh’s backup quarterbacks combined for 301 passing yards, four touchdowns, zero turnovers and a 135.5 team passer rating, with Thompson’s 20-of-28 night serving as the loudest individual statement of the game. Jacksonville scored 13 of its 25 points through Little’s leg alone, with its offense converting just 3 of 10 third downs and dropping four passes before halftime. Hunter logged 18 total snaps across both sides of the ball and caught two passes for 9 yards, a quiet opening line in what figures to be a closely watched statistical record over the course of his NFL career.
