Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker's rough start to the season continued this Sunday when he missed another field goal. The Ravens faced the Dallas Cowboys in a game that looked pretty favorable for them at halftime (21-6), but Dallas had something to say down the stretch.
Tucker, a seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro, was again a hot topic today as he missed a 46-yard field goal for his team. This comes after he missed a 50-yarder against the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders, respectively, raising concerns among fans.
They took to social media to express concern about the 34-year-old Tucker and how he's struggled early this season.

"Tucker is officially washed," one fan claimed.
"he’s done!!! this is his last season with us," another fan said.
"Yes, the one constant over the last 10 years. We could always count on him. Father Time even catches up with kickers," another fan wrote.
Others gave Tucker the benefit of the doubt, reminding the rest of the fans of all his good moments with the Ravens.
"He still gets grace from me after everything his done for the Org. Maybe it’s his personal life," one fan wondered.
"It certainly is. But i gotta say, he’s earned my patience being so clutch for so long," one fan said.
Somebody even blamed the holder for Justin Tucker's misses.
"It’s not Tucker. It’s Jordan Stout’s inability to hold the ball properly. Tucker has zero problem nailing long distance field goals with a kicking holder tee."
Justin Tucker, Ravens escape hard-fought game against Cowboys
What started as a walk in the park turned into a dramatic contest, as Ravens fans were worried that the Dallas Cowboys could pull off the comeback and beat them after holding a 21-6 lead at halftime. They only scored seven points for the rest of the game while the Cowboys went on a 19-0 run in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to three points.
Justin Tucker's miss with 10:41 left on the clock appeared to be a sign of what was coming for the Ravens, but the team held on for the 28-25 win, their first of the season after the consecutive losses against AFC West teams.
The Cowboys scored another touchdown and converted the extra point with less than three minutes on the clock, but Lamar Jackson's combinations with Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers closed the deal for Baltimore, who are now 1-2 ahead of another heavyweight matchup against the Buffalo Bills next Sunday.
