Justin Tucker Is Doing The Kicker Version Of Balling Out Against The Bengals

Justin Tucker is feeling himself today. The Baltimore Ravens placekicker doesn’t care how far away from the end zone the offense puts the ball. If it’s anywhere past midfield, he’s kicking the football through the uprights.

Tucker had a bit of fun after making a 57-yard field goal against Cincinnati on Sunday, raising his arms and asking for a little love from the crowd.

It’s certainly not the first time he’s brought out a big celebration for a kick, but this one was pretty special. Tucker’s Gladiator nod was a bit of a taunt to Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, who had just declined a 10-yard penalty thinking that Tucker couldn’t make the 57-yarder. Reporters at the game said Tucker begged Ravens coach John Harbaugh to let him attempt the kick.

Maybe you don’t want to give Baltimore’s offense another chance at converting a first down, but Tucker is known for converting long field goals. Lewis basically let Tucker put three points up on the board here.

Tucker’s spent all day on Sunday destroying the Bengals, as he racked up three kicks of 50+ in the first half alone.
