OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The streak is over for Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker.

Tucker's 34-yard field goal attempt was blocked by the Patriots' Shea McClellin in the first quarter. That snapped a streak of 35 consecutive field goals by Tucker -- one shy of tying Matt Stover's franchise record. Tucker had not missed a field goal since Dec. 6, 2015 and converted all 28 attempts this season.

The streak, however, was the least of his worries. Tucker's focus was solely on helping Baltimore make the postseason with a late push.

"We know what we have to do to extend our season, and we're going to get to work on that as soon as possible," Tucker said.
