The Baltimore Ravens are, without a doubt, have been one of the best teams in the NFL during this regular season.
The dynamic duo of quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry has been lethal and the main reason for the team’s offensive success, but the Ravens are anything but perfect, which was put on display in Week 13 against an excellent Philadelphia Eagles team.
The biggest flaw for the Ravens against the Eagles was the lack of success from veteran kicker Justin Tucker, who missed three field goals, which became one of the main storylines after the game.
Although Tucker has been one of the best and most consistent kickers in the league throughout his career, he has really struggled as of late, which has become a significant concern for Baltimore.
Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick recently shared his thoughts on Tucker’s struggles.
“When I see his ball start to move a little bit now, that tells me there’s something different than what it was. … It seems like that’s correctable, just gotta figure out what it is,” Belichick said on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

If Tucker can’t get things figured out before the playoffs, head coach John Harbaugh will have a real problem on his hands, as he won’t be able to lean on the kicking game in close games.
It remains to be seen if Tucker can get back to form, but if he can’t, it could prove costly to Baltimore’s chances of success in the postseason.
