The Baltimore Ravens‘ rookie kicker, Tyler Loop, was having a great season. He had missed only three field goal attempts. But none of them were within the 50-yard range. In the season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was under pressure to kick the game-winning field goal from 44 yards. But Loop missed. Fans’ anger knew no bounds and forced his family to secure themselves.

His fiancée, Julia Otto, had her Instagram account public as fans often wished them after his excellent performances. But the heartbroken ones couldn’t control their temper after the season finale loss, forcing her to make her IG account private.

Some fans even wished them bad luck and hoped for their breakup in the comments below their engagement photo on Tyler Loop’s and Otto’s IG account. Some comments even warned Loop never to walk on the Baltimore streets alone, citing a danger to his life. While his other IG posts have fewer hate comments, the pinned IG post with his fiancée became the unexpected target.

Some fans praised the former kicker Justin Tucker, claiming he was better than the rookie. The tone has changed drastically as the Ravens were eliminated from the playoffs.

At the 13:33 mark in the second quarter, he scored the 40-yard field goal with ease. But the entire effort of their 2025 campaign depended on the field goal with only two seconds remaining in the game. Loop kicked the ball, which went wide right of the uprights. As the kicker held his head in disbelief, punter Jordan Stout patted Loop’s head in an attempt to comfort him.

Fans couldn’t hold their emotions after the heartbreak. After a season of ups and downs, they failed to move ahead.

Tyler Loop is gutted at the critical mistake

During the entire season, Tyler Loop kept the fans hooked on his scoring ability. He scored 29 of 32 goals in the first 16 games, but converted only one of two field goals in the season finale, taking his tally to 30 of 34 field goals. During the entire season, he scored 44 extra points from 46 attempts (95.7% scoring rate).

However, Tyler Loop was also disappointed with the way things ended for the franchise. He expressed his sadness while talking to reporters.

“I’m super grateful to Baltimore and the organization, the city, just how they’ve embraced me this year has been incredible, and just for a time like that sucks, and I want to do better, and unfortunately the nature of the jobs, you have makes, and those are awesome, and unfortunately it misses, and for that to happen at night sucks,” Loop said.

Head coach John Harbaugh also understands that the mistake has been weighing heavily on his rookie player. He had an arm wrapped around Loop’s shoulder while going to the locker room. The kicker held his helmet with his left hand in disbelief.

The game was historic even before it began. The exciting finish made it even more legendary in the rivalry. One thing is certain. Tyler Loop and his family will never forget it!
