Tyler Loop faces pressure to perform in second NFL season with Ravens

Summary

Tyler Loop, the Baltimore Ravens' second-year placekicker, enters the 2026 season under significant pressure after a disappointing rookie year. Drafted in the sixth round, Loop succeeded all-time great Justin Tucker but struggled with consistency, missing key kicks that could have secured a playoff berth for the team. Although he started strong, hitting 7-of-7 field goals in his first four games, his overall performance saw lows, particularly in critical moments. As he prepares for the upcoming season, Loop needs to improve his long-range kicking to solidify his spot on the roster and help the Ravens compete.
