Justin Tucker's season continues to deteriorate.
On Sunday, Tucker's once-guaranteed leg missed three kicks in the Ravens' loss to the Eagles, increasing his miss count to a career-high eight.
Tucker missed an extra point and two field goals in the third quarter, resulting in a 24-19 loss at M&T Bank Stadium.
Tucker's situation isn't great, but head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that Tucker “definitely can take any kick.” …No one wants to do that kick more than Justin. ”
“If Justin Tucker asks me if I'm going to take the next step, I'm not going to do that right now,” Harbaugh later said. According to Mike Garafolo.
The first missed kick occurred on an extra point in the first quarter when the Ravens led 9-0.
A seemingly simple kick hit the field goal post and at that moment it made a loud noise.
“He's been automatic his entire career. You know Mr. Harbaugh still has faith in him, but it's coming late this year. I think he'll figure it out, but it's getting closer. “I'm here,” Tony Romo said on the air.
Things got even worse in the third quarter when Tucker missed a 47-yard field goal and then a 53-yard field goal on the next drive.
With the Ravens trailing 19-14 with 1:21 left in the third quarter, he missed a 53-yard attempt to the right.
“An extra point and two field goals gave Philadelphia the lead, not 19-14. If I'm a Ravens fan, that's something to worry about later in the year,” Romo opined after the second missed kick. .
The Ravens enter their bye week next week, but Harbaugh told reporters after the game that the team will take most of this week off.
