BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Ravens continued to express confidence in Justin Tucker after the worst game of the seven-time Pro Bowl kicker's career.

It looked like a high snap might have factored into the last miss, but that was no consolation for Tucker.

«I feel like I cost us this one, but it doesn't really do anybody any good to dwell on it,» Tucker said. «The only thing that we can do — that I can do — is just continue to work, move forward, take it one kick at a time.

Tucker made two field goals Sunday, hitting from 34 yards in the first quarter and from 50 yards just before halftime. But the repeated misses have become a surprising
