Watch: Ravens' Justin Tucker pokes fun at Russell Wilson's plane ride story

Baltimore Ravens All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker helped his team defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-22 on "Thursday Night Football," booting through a pair of field goals and three extra points. 

During the late-night plane ride home from Florida, Tucker was in a joking mood and decided to poke fun at Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson's viral story of doing knees on his squad's lengthy flight to London earlier this week.

The Broncos are getting prepared to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8 during the league's latest game "across the pond" on Sunday, and it was reported Wednesday that Wilson spent four of the eight hours on the plane ride working out and stretching, including doing some high knees. 

According to DNVR's Zac Stevens, the nine-time Pro Bowl signal-caller said, "I was doing high knees in the aisle when the rest of the guys were asleep."

Wilson's start to his Denver career has been rough, as he registered a career-low 58.6% completion percentage with 1,442 passing yards and just five touchdowns against three interceptions. He missed the team's Week 7 loss to the New York Jets with a hamstring injury, but head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback will be back under center in London.

The Broncos have lost four in a row and are in last place in the AFC West at 2-5.
