Justin Tucker not only had the game of the year for a placekicker, he also had the postgame interview of the season.
The Baltimore Ravens kicker accounted for all 18 of his team’s points in an 18-16 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday night. He made kicks from 29, 24, 32, 49, 53 … and from 61 yards out with 38 seconds left to lift his team to victory.
In his postgame interview with ESPN, Tucker admitted he owns himself in fantasy football and gave a shoutout to all the other people who own him.
“We kick six field goals and win the game. I’m happy to do it — don’t get me wrong — and my fantasy team is benefiting from it as well. So I’m happy about that. Fantasy owners around the world, I hope you appreciate the points as well. To sum it up in one word: pandemonium.”
To sum it up even better: guy kicks six field goals to score all his team’s points, makes the game-winning kick from 61, helps his team in real life, helps himself in fantasy, and hopes all his other fantasy owners appreciated it. This guy is awesome.
Below is a look at his 61-yard field goal to win the game:
His reaction to making the 61-yard kick was awesome too:
What a stud.
