Ravens HC John Harbaugh weighs in on Justin Tucker's struggles in 2024

   

The Baltimore Ravens lost a heartbreaker to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11 by the final score of 18-16. Baltimore couldn't convert on a two-point conversion to tie the contest, resulting in defeat.

One of the many reasons Baltimore wasn't about to come out on top was kicker Justin Tucker's two massive misses on field goals. The legendary kicker has struggled all season, and head coach John Harbaugh said that Tucker needs to make his kicks and kick straight.

"'Tuck' [Justin Tucker] needs to make kicks. He knows that; that's important. He makes them in practice, and he made the long one later, which was good to see – which means he's still very capable. Kick them straight, [and] we'll be good."

Tucker's struggles have been uncharacteristic, with all his kicks missing wide left. Baltimore needs Tucker to be the best version of himself, as missed kicks mean even more in postseason action.
