The Ravens haven’t had to call on Tucker too much in 2019. With coach Harbaugh’s newfound aggressiveness on fourth down, the team hasn’t settled for field goals as much this season. And with Jackson leading an offense that routinely blows out opponents, Baltimore hasn’t needed him to make a game-winning field goal since his overtime winner in Week 4.

Tucker has only attempted 21 field goals, with 20 successes. He’s on pace to kick 30 field goals with 29 successes, which would be a career low in both for the kicker.

But Tucker proved against the 49ers that he can still get the job done when he nailing a 49-yard field goal in poor conditions to win the game. It’s a kick that’s not a guarantee by any means, but for the best kicker in the game, it’s not a problem. There aren’t too many weaknesses on the Ravens roster and you can bet that Tucker isn’t going to be one of them.
