Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker Is Poking The Bear Once Again By Warming Up On The Chiefs’ Side Of The Field

This isn't really that big of a deal, because Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker does this under any circumstances. It's more just a funny situation because he evidently didn't learn anything from the AFC Championship Game. In case you don't recall, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes took turns doing the football equivalent of shoving the nerdy, quirky, literally-crooning kicker into a locker by breaking up his whole warmup routine since it was in their way: https://twitter.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1751675088003338721 https://twitter.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1751676291248468390 Welp. With no sign of Kelce or Mahomes in sight, Tucker was up to his old tricks again before Thursday night's NFL season-opening rematch. https://twitter.com/SamMcDowell11/status/1831828511671066676 https://twitter.com/jeffzrebiec/status/1831828272985813283 Wasn't a great omen last time around, as the hosting Ravens fell to the Chiefs 17-10 despite departed defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald pitching a shutout on Mahomes and Co. in the second half. Guess Tucker didn't get the memo not to do it again, or recognizes that, being a kicker, he can only have so much of an impact on the game's outcome. Might as well resort to this sort of gamesmanship to try to thwart the start of Kansas City's Super Bowl three-peat bid. Everyone seems to give Mahomes more fuel to the fire. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was rated ahead of him in the NFL Top 100 players poll , as voted on by the players themselves. All due respect to Lamar as the reigning regular-season MVP, but Mahomes is a three-time Super Bowl MVP . Lamar's passer rating in the playoffs is below 80. What are we talking about? There's no contest as to who the better player is. Anyway, happy NFL kickoff everyone! We finally made it!
