Tyler’s social media filled with hateful comments after missed field goal

Tyler Roop might want to consider stepping away from social media for a spell. He kicked a 44-yard field goal on Sunday night, which put the Baltimore Ravens in a position to claim the AFC North title and secure a playoff spot. But just before the game ended, the rookie kicker missed his chance, ultimately allowing the Pittsburgh Steelers to advance to the playoffs and finishing the Ravens’ season on a disappointing note.

As is common today, fans quickly took to social media to capture the moment, particularly in a personal post on Instagram.

His pinned post on Instagram, shared with his fiancée Julia to announce their engagement back in March, has since exploded to over 12,000 comments, many surging in after his missed kick.

One particularly popular comment—garnering over 8,000 likes—simply stated, “1 job.” Another comment featured a GIF of Justin Tucker shrugging; it’s worth noting that Tucker, recognized for having the highest field goal percentage in NFL history, was let go by the Ravens earlier in the season following sexual harassment allegations.

Some comments reflected frustration, with one user asking, “Are you serious?” and lamenting how the game slipped away despite giving Lamar field position, calling it akin to tossing the postseason in the trash. That sentiment echoes the feeling many fans had in previous seasons, with recent losses haunting the team, including last year’s defeat due to a failed two-point conversion and a crucial fumble in the AFC Championship Game.

However, there was also support in the mix. One user noted, “There’s going to be a lot of mean people in the comments section,” which felt somewhat reassuring. Another chimed in with a simple but heartfelt, “Good for you,” indicating some fans still had his back.

After the game, Loop—selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft to fill Tucker’s shoes—expressed the role faith plays in his life during tough times. “I’m really fortunate to be here, even if I’m back,” he reflected. “Being with this team in Baltimore is the biggest blessing of my life, and I’m truly grateful for it.”
