Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker made NFL history on Sunday after kicking a 66-yard field goal as time expired to give the team a 19-17 Week 3 win over the Detroit Lions.
Over Tucker’s NFL career he has never had a field goal percentage lower than 82.5%. He has drilled 71% of kicks from 50+ yards and is 16-of-16 in fourth quarter field goal attempts inside the final minute of regulation. He is the most accurate kicker in NFL history and many have taken notice.
On Thursday, Madden NFL 22 announced via Twitter that Tucker would receive a 99 overall ranking and join the 99 club for a limited time in the popular video game.

Tucker’s previous rating of an 87 overall has some fans scratching their heads despite him having the highest ranking of all kickers in this year’s edition of the popular video game. Madden may want to adjust his rating to north of 90+ once he leaves the 99 club.
