Tyler Loop's 64-yard field goal gives the Ravens a new level of range

Tyler Loop has done it again. Just when you thought he couldn’t one-up his game-winning trio in Rio, the Baltimore Ravens kicker outdid himself in the team’s Week 4 win. Loop made another statement before halftime, booting a 64-yard field goal through the uprights.

That thing looked like it would’ve been good from 70 yards away.

Now, Loop missed one later from just 40 yards out, and the ball was never close to the uprights. That one looked like a bad hold, though. Regardless, the Ravens really could’ve used that field goal down the stretch, as the Titans drew way too close for comfort with less than two minutes to go.

Still, what everyone should be focusing on is Loop’s range. After going 1-for-4 from 50+ last year, he’s 2-for-2 from that area to start 2026. And they’re two booming makes from 57 and 64 yards.

That’s huge. Loop has range now, and that should pay off this season.

Baltimore Ravens have the weapon they need in Tyler Loop

When you have a kicker who can drill them from distance, your offense can start scoring in bunches. Obviously you can’t expect Loop to knock them through from 55-plus on a consistent basis — you’re asking too much from him in that case. However, knowing Loop has that kind of range is a huge step up from where he was in 2025.

If you ask head coach Jesse Minter, he’s not shocked at all. He’s had Loop’s back from day one, even through all his preseason struggles. In his postgame press conference, he spoke about the 25-year-old’s performance on Sunday.

“I’ve said it a bunch, but my confidence in [Loop] has never really shaken,” Minter said. “The work ethic, and the trust, and the process … I expected nothing less, and I’m really happy for him.”

That kick from 64 yards came at M&T Bank Stadium, too. Baltimore’s home soil has been considered one of the tougher places to kick over the years. In fact, that’s not only Loop’s career-long by far and the second-longest by a Raven, but that’s actually the longest field goal ever made at the Bank. He set a record.

Suddenly, the offense doesn’t have to go that far to have a shot at putting points on the board. With the new kickoff rules, the average starting field position for the entire NFL this year is around the 30-yard line. Touchbacks bring the ball out to the 35, as well.

To get Loop into his range, Lamar Jackson and company really only need about 20 yards before they’d put him in a comfortable position to shine.

Of course, the goal is always touchdowns. You’re never starting a drive with three points in mind, unless there’s little time left on the clock. Still, drives will inevitably stall, and Loop will be called upon. That ability to hit from distance will give Minter a heck of a lot more confidence than he already had in his second-year kicker.
