Ravens Grapple With Justin Tucker's Unprecedented Decline in Accuracy

The NFL's most reliable kicker struggles with missed kicks, raising questions about his future with Baltimore.

Justin Tucker, historically one of the NFL's most accurate kickers, has missed a league-high 10 field goals this season, including three in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
The Ravens, now 8-5, have dropped close games due to Tucker's struggles, jeopardizing their playoff positioning as they sit in the AFC's sixth seed.
Head coach John Harbaugh has expressed support for Tucker, stating the team is not currently considering moving on from the veteran kicker.
Tucker's accuracy has dropped to 70% this season, a sharp decline from his career average of 89%, placing him among the league's least efficient kickers in 2024.
Baltimore enters their bye week with internal discussions about potential contingency plans, such as signing a backup kicker, as critical late-season games loom.
