How hard is a 57-yard field goal?
A 57-yard field goal is exceptionally difficult, requiring immense power and accuracy. The average NFL field goal attempt is much shorter, typically under 40 yards. Cam Little's successful kick from such a distance, especially under pressure as time expired, highlights his skill and the rarity of such a dramatic winning play.
