Ravens kicker Justin Tucker continued a strong 2014 season by being named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November.
The third-year kicker connected on all seven of his field goal attempts, including a 55-yard try in the Monday night win over New Orleans on Nov. 24. Tucker kicked four field goals in last Sunday’s loss to San Diego.
The 2013 Pro Bowl selection is 25-for-28 on the season with his only misses coming from 55 or more yards away. He currently ranks as the NFL’s all-time most accurate kicker (100 attempts minimum) with a 91.2 percent success rate and has connected on 59 of his last 60 attempts from under 55 yards.
The 25-year-old was also named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after making the game-winning field goal in Cleveland in Week 3.

Right Now in Baltimore
The Ravens go on the clock with Pick 14 and then move to 'Super Bowl' time
The purple land of hopes and expectations begins on Thursday night with the NFL Draft. Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready for a myriad of draft possibilities and outcomes for Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens under rookie head coach Jesse Minter. We'll be picking and opining all weekend as spring hopes remain eternal in Owings Mills.
When will the frozen Orioles bats thaw this spring?
Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?
Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
