Ravens’ kicker Justin Tucker got roasted across social media after a disastrous performance against the Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles edged the Baltimore Ravens 24-19, thanks to a clutch performance from Saquon Barkley and a shocking off-day from Justin Tucker. In a game featuring two of the NFL’s most feared running backs, it was Barkley who stole the show late, delivering the decisive blow with a 25-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Both Barkley and Derrick Henry were bottled up early, combining for just 80 rushing yards on 19 carries in the first half. But everyone watching knew one of them would eventually break through, and it was Barkley who rose to the occasion. The Eagles’ star back finished with 107 yards and a touchdown, carrying Philadelphia to a gritty win on the road.
Saquon Barkley Touchdown:
On the other side, the Ravens were left wondering what might have been. Justin Tucker, arguably the most reliable kicker in NFL history, had a nightmare performance. Tucker missed two field goals from 47 and 53 yards and clanked an extra point off the upright—marking the first time in his career he missed three kicks in a single game.
Coming into Sunday, Tucker was already having the worst statistical season of his career, connecting on just 73.9% of his field goal attempts. Sunday’s struggles only fueled questions about whether the 34-year-old is starting to decline..along with a bunch of roasts from across the internet.
Internet Roasts Justin Tucker for Horrible Performance vs Eagles:
Despite Tucker’s uncharacteristic outing, Baltimore kept things close. Henry ran hard against a tough Eagles front, and the Ravens’ defense managed to limit Jalen Hurts and the Eagles’ passing attack. But when the game was on the line, Tucker’s misses loomed large, and Barkley’s late-game heroics proved to be the difference.
The loss drops Baltimore to 8-5, leaving them 1.5 games behind the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, the Ravens now find themselves needing answers—not just from Tucker, but across the board.
Justin Tucker’s struggles have been the story of his season, and while he’s working to address mechanical issues, it’s fair to wonder if his days as the league’s gold standard are behind him.
Meanwhile, the Eagles keep rolling. The win moves them to 10-2 and solidifies their standing as one of the NFC’s top teams. Barkley’s late-game burst, combined with a gritty effort from their defense, showed why Philadelphia is a legitimate contender heading into the postseason.
In a game defined by missed chances and clutch performances, the Eagles proved once again they know how to win when it matters most.
