Re: Around the League
From Wikipedia:
"In the National Football League (NFL), a normally reliable placekicker who starts struggling is also said to have the yips. Seven-time Pro Bowler Justin Tucker was described by fans and sportswriters as suffering from yips during his 2024 season, after a seemingly inexplicable series of misses leading to a career-low 73.9% field goal rate, despite finishing 12 seasons as among the most accurate kickers in the league."
