We take as a given that Justin Tucker is the best kicker of all time, yet unlike the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Chris Boswell, he is falling short of current standards. Standards meaning what NFL teams now expect modern kickers to do: reliably kick from distance.
From that perspective, there is nobody better than Chris Boswell. Justin Tucker used to be one of the best to ever do it as well, but lately, he simply hasn’t been. At least he hasn’t been if the only element you analyze is the result: made kick or no good.
Since the start of the 2022 season, Justin Tucker is just 10-for-21 on field goal attempts of 50-plus yards.
