Justin Tucker has proven himself to be an amazing and reliable kicker for the Baltimore Ravens including the six field goals and 61-yard game winner he kicked on Monday night. The record for longest field goal however belongs to Denver Broncos kicker Matt Prater who kicked a 64 yard FG on Sunday in their win over the Titans. Tucker believes he can beat it.
“If I pulled out the eight-degree driver — on a day when I’m feeling real fresh — I could probably hit one from 70 yards,” Tucker told Jim Corbett of USA Today. “I hit one from 70 yards in pregame in Detroit this past Monday night.”
Tucker also said he made one from 79 yards earlier this year.
“That was in Denver before our opener in September,” Tucker said. “The weather was perfect; the field was good. With the altitude in the Rocky Mountains, the ball jumps off your foot.”
In only his second season, Tucker has become one of the most reliable kickers in league history, making all 33 field goal attempts in 2013. He gives the Ravens a powerful weapon for converting field position into points.
