Tyler Loop hoped all season for a game-winning field goal attempt.<\/p>\n
It finally came in the final seconds of the Ravens’ regular season, with the division title on the line. There could be no better script.<\/p>\n
Loop’s dream quickly turned to a nightmare, however, as he pushed the 44-yard attempt wide right. It was a brutal finish to a strong rookie season for Loop, as the Ravens fell in Pittsburgh, 26-24, to end their season.<\/p>\n
“For it to end like that sucks, and I want to do better,” Loop said. “Unfortunately, the nature of the [kicker] job is you have makes, and those are awesome, and unfortunately, you have misses, and for that to happen tonight sucks.”<\/p>\n
Loop said he knew the kick wasn’t good as soon as he struck the ball.<\/p>\n
“It was a great situation, exactly what we wanted, and unfortunately, I just mishit the ball,” Loop said. “We call it hitting it thin. It spins fast and goes off to the right.<\/p>\n
“The second it made contact with my foot, I felt it lower. We talk about hitting on the fourth lace of the shoe. It felt a little lower down the foot and hit it thin.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler Loop hoped all season for a game-winning field goal attempt.
