John Harbaugh makes immediate decision over Justin Tucker following Baltimore Ravens loss against Philadelphia Eagles
Justin Tucker shouldn’t be benched by the Baltimore Ravens just yet.
Tucker is definitely hurting the Baltimore Ravens this season, but he is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Tucker was the primary cause of the Ravens’ defeat by the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Despite leaving seven points on the table during the game, the final score was 24-19.
During the game, he missed an extra point and two field goals. The Ravens would have won 26–24 in the end if he had made those.
Tucker, who is kicking at a career-low 70.37 percent this season, has struggled with this.

In 2015, he had his poorest season ever, scoring 82.5 percent.
Head coach John Harbaughis isn’t ready to let go of Tucker just yet, despite the fact that it reportedly obvious that his struggles are costing the Ravens games.
Harbaugh stated that he is staying with his kicker during his postgame conference following the Sunday defeat.
There’s no doubt that [Tucker] can make every kick. According to Harbaugh, no one wants to make those kicks more than Justin.
“If you re asking me are we going to move on from Justin Tucker, I m not really planning on doing that right now.”
Although Tucker’s head coach may support him, his fans do not share that sentiment.
Numerous Ravens supporters have resorted to social media to demand that Tucker be swapped out for a new kicker in order to qualify for the playoffs.
One supporter wrote, “Cut him if you are serious about winning.”
Another fan said, “He’s done, washed, and it’s over.”
“Damn dawg tuck don’t deserve to go out like this,” remarked a third fan.
“@jtuck9 It’s time to leave, my friend. A fourth supporter remarked, “We can’t have you kicking in the playoffs.”

When it comes to kickers in particular, the NFL is a brutal organization.
