Justin Tucker missed a chip-shot field goal for the first time in 4 years immediately after the announcers jinxed it

• Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker missed a field goal from less than 40 yards for the first time since 2016.
• The miss came after Fox announcer Joe Buck attempted to avoid the "announcer's jinx," saying he assumed Tucker would make it.
• Tucker's miss was just his second missed field goal all season.

Entering Tuesday, Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker had not missed a field goal under 40 yards since 2016.

And then Joe Buck and Troy Aikman happened.

On Tuesday's game between the Ravens and Dallas Cowboys, Tucker lined up for a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter when Fox's play-by-play announcer Joe Buck noted that Tucker had made 70 straight field goals within 40 yards.

Aikman responded, "We'll see if he keeps that streak alive here."

Buck attempted to avoid the "announcer's jinx" - in which athletes' respective streaks tend to be snapped when mentioned by announcers - saying, ""I'm just gonna say he is. No announcer's jinx, come on!"

Tucker then shanked the kick, missing the field goal. It was just his second miss all season.

Luckily, for the Ravens, the miss did not end up hurting them, as they beat the Cowboys, 34-17.
