Ravens star kicker continues to struggle in 13th career season

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is the all-time career record holder for field goal percentage, but he has struggled mightily converting on his kicks in 2024.

Tucker entered Week 11’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers with the lowest field goal percentage mark of his 13-year career. Those woes continued during the first quarter on Sunday, in which Tucker missed both field goal attempts – one from 47 yards out and another from 50 yards out.

According to ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, Tucker has already missed his entire missed field goal total from the 2023 season (five). He has never missed more than seven field goals in a season in his career.

A seven-time Pro Bowler, Tucker had done plenty to establish himself as one of the best kickers in NFL history over his 13 seasons with Baltimore. In addition to his Pro Bowl nods, the Texas product earned first-team All-Pro honors five times and second-team All-Pro recognition three times.

Tucker also ranks 12th in NFL history with his 410 field goals made entering Sunday’s game.
