It’s easy to see why the Ravens signed kicker Justin Tucker to a four-year contract extension.
Near the end of Sunday’s practice, Tucker hit one of the longest field goals of his life. He bombed a 69-yarder through the uprights with room to spare.
Actually, Tucker says it was 69 ½ yards.
“We’ve had some long ones out here before,” Tucker said. “I think in OTAs last year, on a kind of rainy day, we had a little tailwind we hit a 70-yarder on the same field going the same way.”
So Sunday’s boot was a ½ yard short.
