Ravens' Coach Trusts Tucker to Recover After Missed Field Goal

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh expressed confidence in kicker Justin Tucker following a missed 46-yard field goal during the Ravens' 28-25 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. This miss marked Tucker's third in three games this season, bringing his total to 5-for-8 in field goal attempts. Despite his struggles, Tucker remains the most accurate kicker in NFL history, having made 31-of-32 field goals last season from inside 50 yards. Tucker's recent performance is uncharacteristic, especially considering he holds the NFL record for the longest field goal at 66 yards and boasts an impressive 89.6 career field goal percentage. This season, he has missed attempts from 53, 56, and 46 yards, which has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike. Harbaugh attributed these misses to a technique issue that Tucker is currently addressing with Special Teams Coach Randy Brown. Harbaugh emphasized the importance of support for Tucker, stating that he makes a conscious effort to reassure him of the team's belief in his abilities. The head coach believes that Tucker is aware of the adjustments he needs to make and is capable of overcoming this rough patch. As the Ravens prepare for their upcoming home game against the Buffalo Bills, the focus will be on Tucker's ability to regain his form. The team remains optimistic that with the right adjustments, Tucker will return to his previous level of performance, reinforcing the trust placed in him by the coaching staff and teammates.
