He is now 7 for 7 this year, but hey, who's counting? Some kickers are actually good at their jobs. It's a shame that ours is not.
Tucker had only made ONE kick in his entire career of at least 57 yards, and that one was in a dome on astroturf.
Tucker was 4-4 from 50+ this year, but he had not attempted anything longer than 54 yards, and he was below 50% each of the last two years from 50+.
Again, I say most other coaches in the league do exactly what Marvin did in that situation. Also remember that if Tucker misses the Bengals get the ball almost at midfield (Cin 47), but if they accept the penalty and force a punt they could be pinned inside their 20 with little time left.
