The Baltimore Ravens are bracing for the start of the 2026 season.
After an offseason full of change, the team is hopeful it can become a contender once again. Baltimore has gone not only to a new regime but also to a whole new system.
With an offseason that appears to have fixed many of the problems that plagued them last year, the Ravens still have one big problem: kicking.
Baltimore selected Tyler Loop in the sixth round with the 186th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. After starting the season hot, going 7-7 and 14-15 on extra points through the first four weeks of the season, the Ravens looked like they found their replacement for former long-time kicker Justin Tucker.
But in Week 5 against the Houston Texans, the Ravens found a hole in his game that became a problem late in the year. Against Houston, he went 1-2 on field goals and missed his only attempt from 50 yards. A small hiccup that tends to happen from time to time with kickers who are expected to be almost perfect.
