Justin Tucker has long been the gold standard in the world of NFL kicking, a name that inspired confidence in Ravens fans.
But Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles told a different story, revealing a chink in the armor of the most accurate kicker in NFL history.
Tucker’s typically surgical precision seemed to abandon him during the Ravens’ 24-19 loss.
The third quarter was particularly brutal. With the Ravens trailing 14-12, Tucker missed two critical field goals, one from 47 yards and another from 53 yards.
Tony Romo, broadcasting the game, didn’t mince words about the potential impact.
“That is concerning as it gets later in the year if I’m a Ravens fan,” he remarked.

This wasn’t just an isolated incident—it was part of a troubling trend in the 2024 season.
For years, Tucker has been the model of kicking consistency, a seven-time Pro Bowler on a clear path to the Hall of Fame. But this season tells a different story.
His current 70.4% success rate is a career-low, a stark departure from the reliability that once defined his game.
With just 19 of 27 field goal attempts successful, the Ravens’ postseason dreams hang in a delicate balance.
