Justin Tucker didn't seem sure if the practice field goal try he took between the first and second overtimes was against the rules but he was certain that it helped. Four plays into the second overtime period between the Baltimore Ravens and the Denver Broncos, the 23-year-old rookie was back out on the frigid field. He nailed a 47-yard, game-winning kick to lift Baltimore to a 38-35 win and into the AFC Championship Game.
"We figured, no one has told us not to do it before so we'll go hit one. Randy [Brown] and I went out there and smacked one," Tucker told reporters after the game, via CSN Baltimore. "I'm glad we did because, you know, it's different kicking on the sidelines where the grass is green and lush and it's all good as opposed to on the field where it was straight mud at a certain point."
One of Tucker's fellow kickers, Jay Feely of the Arizona Cardinals, noticed the practice kick after the first overtime and was pretty sure that it was against the rules.
