Ravens add Jake Moody to create competition for kicker Tyler Loop

Baltimore Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta confirmed the team signed kicker Jake Moody to generate direct competition for incumbent Tyler Loop. DeCosta characterized the move as a performance-based decision intended to address inconsistency in the kicking game. While the team publicly supported Loop throughout the summer, officials felt compelled to bring in another player to evaluate. DeCosta emphasized that the decision relies heavily on the input of senior special teams coach Randy Brown. The team continues to assess both specialists as the regular season approaches to ensure the position meets championship-level expectations.
