Justin Tucker

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker made clear Wednesday that no one is more upset about his uncharacteristic struggles than him: "Believe me when I say nobody takes it more personally than I do, nobody is more affected than me when I miss the kick."

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker missed two field goals in the first half of last Sunday's loss to the Steelers and he's now missed seven kicks over the course of the entire season, which has led some to wonder if one of the league's best all-time kickers has lost it.

Tucker for the first time in his 13-year NFL career is struggling mightily to put the ball between the uprights. He's missed six of his 22 field goal tries in 2024, including two in Baltimore's Week 11 loss to the Steelers. "You have to find that competition first if you're going to be blunt about it. Where is that competition? That would be one thing," Harbaugh said when asked if the team would consider benching Tucker. "The best option right now is to get Justin back on point, because he's fully capable of doing it. (We) certainly haven't lost any confidence in Justin Tucker." Tuckers' struggles from distance stretch back to 2023. Over the past two seasons, he's made just four of 12 field goals of more than 50 yards. Continued struggles for Tucker could force Harbaugh to give some thought to a kicker change as the Ravens head toward the playoffs.
