Tyler Loop struggles in Ravens preseason finale against Commanders
Summary

Tyler Loop faced challenges in his kicking performance during the Ravens' preseason finale against the Commanders on August 28, missing two field goals. The home crowd's reaction included boos, and head coach Jesse Minter expressed concerns about Loop's performance in pressure situations despite a generally good training camp. Minter hinted that the team might consider adding competition for Loop as the roster finalization approaches for the start of the regular season. Last year, Loop made 30 of 34 field goals, but a significant late miss led to the Ravens missing the playoffs and the firing of coach John Harbaugh.
