Justin Tucker has been superhuman as a kicker for the Baltimore Ravens for years, hitting field goals from all kinds of distances and in clutch situations.

But let's go back to that moment before the Kansas City Chiefs' eventual win over the Ravens in the AFC title game earlier this year. Travis Kelce -- and Patrick Mahomes too -- tossed aside Tucker's equipment because they accused Tucker of warming up where the Chiefs QBs were supposed to be getting ready.

What's happened since then? Well, Tucker has struggled. A lot.

He's missed three field goals between 40 and 49 yards, and missed five from 50-plus. He's at 70.4 percent this year in field goal percentage, which is AWFUL.

And everyone thinks Kelce stole his mojo:

Justin Tucker being broken by Travis Kelce throwing his stupid kicking tee is one of my favorite NFL stories ever.
