SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker had troubles with the ground below him at Levi's Stadium as well as some surprising visitors above him.
Tucker missed only his fourth career kick on the road in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers when his foot caved in the much criticized field. His 45-yard attempt hit the right upright early in the fourth quarter, when the Ravens trailed 19-13. The usually automatic kick -- he had hit 37 in a row under 50 yards -- was disrupted when Tucker's plant foot sunk into the field and caused him to tumble to the ground.
