Twitter reacts to Justin Tucker losing game on first career extra-point miss

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has proved to be the most accurate at his position in NFL history.

In fact, the two-time Pro Bowler had been 222-of-222 on extra-point attempts throughout his career entering Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

Obviously, head coach John Harbaugh and Co. had confidence in Tucker nailing an extra point to tie the game with under 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

After Joe Flacco led Baltimore on a six-play, 81-yard touchdown scoring drive to pull within 24-23, Tucker took to the field for a chance to send the game to overtime.

He missed. No, really.

The miss cost Baltimore a chance to move to 5-2 on the season. It also led New Orleans to a fifth consecutive win and a 5-1 mark on the year.

Needless to say, Twitter was full of reactions.

"Justin Tucker has never missed an extra point."

Including college, that's the first missed extra point of Justin Tucker's career.

He was 293/293 entering today.

Lol. Announcers were like, “We don’t want overtime so let me go ahead and jinx Justin Tucker with the, ‘He’s never missed an XP.’”

Oh no Justin Tucker. Not you too.

Every time Justin Tucker lined up for an extra point the announcers mention that he’d never missed one. It was inevitable.
