Justin Tucker ‘Has Been Nails’ Since Bye Week
It all appears to be coming collectively for the Ravens as they head into the regular-season finale after which the playoffs.
The offense has been one of many NFL’s most potent all season, and the protection has been among the many league’s greatest over the previous six weeks.
Oh, and Justin Tucker appears like Justin Tucker once more.
“Justin Tucker is so again,” The Baltimore Sun’s Sam Cohn wrote. “Or no less than it feels that means, contemplating how properly the Ravens kicker is swinging his leg this facet of the early December bye week.”
Tucker entered that week having missed a career-high 10 kicks (eight field-goal makes an attempt and two extra-point tries). He hasn’t missed since.
“Coach John Harbaugh tempered outdoors noise that steered they convey in a challenger on the place,” Cohn wrote. “‘I consider it’s going to [get fixed],’ he stated. ‘It has to.’ Tucker instructed his coach heading into the bye that he knew what he needed to do. It was only a matter of going out and doing it. Since then, Tucker has been nails.
“He did not get the possibility to kick a discipline purpose in a 35-14 beatdown towards the lowly New York Giants, however he made all 5 extra-point tries. He got here again per week later to make two discipline targets (one from 51 yards) versus Pittsburgh. And on Christmas Day in Houston, he calmly cut up the uprights from 52 yards.”
In turning issues round, Tucker formally regained his standing as essentially the most correct kicker in NFL historical past.
“He’s making nice ball contact. The ball’s flying straight. He’s doing all the things proper,” punter and holder Jordan Stout stated. “It’s similar to again to regular. Whatever that was that occurred is over now and we’re prepared to maneuver on.”
