The Baltimore Ravens offense appears to be getting irritated in front of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game is well underway, with the first quarter resulting in some huge blunders for the Ravens. And the team’s offensive talents Justin Tucker and Derrick Henry are unable to perform to their full potential. This was not what was expected of them, given their reputation for perfection. But, what precisely happened?
Speaking of WR Derrick Henry, the man botched a pass. If you look at it rationally, it’s not a huge problem, right? He just missed a pass. Well, no. Henry has not fumbled a pass since Week 15 of the 2022 season. This suggests that the fumble occurred three years later and at a worse time. This error by the WR may have put pressure on the team, which may have resulted in Justin Tucker missing a field goal.

Tucker’s 90.2% accuracy makes it difficult for him to miss a goal. But 2024 is not his year. The man has now missed three of the eight goals he has tried, with one more getting added in week 11. The kicker was unable to hit a 47-yard field goal, which was surprising. Nobody expected this to happen, which is why fans began calling for his retirement.
The placekicker is currently 34 years old, and if he hangs up his boots right now, he will leave a great legacy. The man will always have a high accuracy rate, and he may be the most successful placekicker for a longer time. However, is it right for him to retire just because he missed a few goals? What exactly did the fans think about his retirement?
Fans believe Justin Tucker is ‘Washed’
Well, sounds rough, but that is right. Missing goals was never a major concern for Tucker. The man has usually contributed three field goals to his team almost every time he took a shot. But this year there is a noticeable disappearance of his magic. The field goal Justin Tucker missed today was his first missed field goal against the Steelers. Due to this fans think that the player is washed up.

A couple of fans shouted, “He’s so washed” and, “Justin Tucker is finally washed.” This was not all; as other supporters began to make jokes about his downfall. They began to express how unbelievable it was to see him miss on the field.
One fan even said that Justin Tucker’s missed field goal against the Steelers should be studied and there should be a report detailing how this may have happened: “Justin Tucker’s fall off needs to be studied.”
Some people even began to compare Tucker to boxing icon Mike Tyson. Fans think Justin Tucker missing field goals is just as Tyson lost the match against Jake Paul. Both occurrences happened due to one factor: Age. The comment read, “Justin Tucker has become 58-year-old Mike Tyson.”
