Ravens kicker ![]()
On Wednesday, he was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for the first time this season and seventh time in his five-year career.
Tucker was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month in September after connecting on all nine of his field-goal attempts, including a 53-yard game-winning kick in the final minutes in Jacksonville.
Tucker’s 34-straight field goals make up the longest active streak in the NFL. It’s the sixth-best run of all time.
Tucker won the weekly award after he hit four field goals, including three from beyond 50 yards (52, 57 and 54), in Sunday’s 19-14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
He became the first kicker in NFL history to nail three kicks from more than 50 yards in the first half of a game. He’s the ninth kicker to make three field goals from that range in a game.
Here are some more notes on Tucker’s success:
- His 27 successful field goals this season are tops in the NFL. He’s 27-for-27 this season, and 15-for-15 on extra-point attempts.
- Tucker’s seven field goals from 50-plus yards are a new Ravens single-season record. They are tied for the fourth most in NFL single-season history with six other kickers. The record of 10 was set by former Vikings kicker Blair Walsh in 2012. Walsh was released earlier this month.
- An NFL-high 18 of Tucker’s 27 field goals this season have come from 40 yards or beyond. The Detroit Lions’ Matt Prater is in second with 13.
- Since Tucker entered the league in 2012 as a rookie free agent, his 157 field goals are the most in the NFL.
- Since extra points were moved back in 2015, Tucker (44-of-44) and Dallas Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey (59-of-59) are the NFL’s only kickers yet to miss.
- Tucker is the second-most accurate kicker (89.7 percent) in NFL history behind Bailey (90.6 percent).
