Not just a bad day, he's having a terrible season.
Tucker missed two field goals and an extra point during the Ravensā five-point loss to the Eagles. It marked the first time in the five-time All-Proās decorated career he missed three kicks in a single contest, and it represented another poor outing in 2024. Tuckerās field goal accuracy now sits at 70.4% on the year, easily the lowest of his NFL tenure.
In place with Baltimore since 2012, Tucker has spent much of his career as one of the leagueās top kickers. His resume includes a Super Bowl title, a spot on the 2010s All-Decade team, seven Pro Bowl nods and the all-time record for the longest made field goal in league history (a 66-yarder from 2021). At the start of the season, the 35-year-oldās career accuracy mark of 90.2% was the highest in NFL history.
On multiple occasions in 2024, however, Tuckerās misses have proven costly in close Ravens losses. Overall, he has gone only 9-for-17 on field goals beyond 40 yards while remaining perfect within that distance. The Texas productās two missed extra points match the most he has had on that front in a single campaign. Baltimoreās bye comes in Week 14, giving Tucker and the team time to reset before the final stretch of the campaign.
Don't know what's going on, maybe age has caught up with him though kickers can sometimes play on a high level to their forties. But tbf 99% kickers would already be out of the job with accuracy % he has this season. Not many enjoyed as much success as he had in the past though and I'm sure he'll bounce back next year or maybe even end of this season.
