The Ravens have the best kicker in the NFL, Justin Tucker. Tucker showed why he is the best as he drained a field goal from way downtown with ease.

According to NFL Research, this 57 yard field goal was the second longest of Tucker’s career, the longest being the 61 yard game winning field goal against the Lions on Monday Night Football in 2013.
Tucker made this 57 yard kick with much to spare, tying the game, 6-6.
Tucker is well known for his ability to make a field goal from anywhere on the field, and do it with a high level of success. As noted by Patrick Gleason, Tucker has the most field goals from 50+ yards since he debuted in 2012.
@jtuck9 has 30-career FGs of 50-plus yards, ranking as the NFL's most since he entered the league in 2012.

The Ravens are in the midst of a field goal battle with the Vikings, as both defenses have played well (granted the Ravens are without Mike Wallace, Breshad Perriman and Jeremy Maclin). Tucker is likely going to be called on for more long field goal attempts in this game.
