Ravens kicker blames Week 11 field conditions for missed field goals

Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker uncharacteristically missed three field goals in Week 11

Justin Tucker, the Baltimore Ravens' kicker, had an uncharacteristically poor performance in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tucker missed three field goals on the day, including a potential game-winning field goal in the final seconds of the game. After the game, Tucker blamed the poor field conditions for his missed field goals.

The field conditions were poor due to heavy rain

The field conditions at TIAA Bank Field were poor due to heavy rain throughout the game. The rain made the field slick and difficult to plant, which made it difficult for Tucker to kick the ball accurately. Tucker said after the game that he had never played on a field that was as slick as TIAA Bank Field.

The Ravens lost the game 28-27, and Tucker's missed field goals were a major factor in the loss. Tucker is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL, so his poor performance in Week 11 was a surprise. The poor field conditions were likely a major factor in Tucker's missed field goals
