Steven Hauschka's failures helped the Baltimore Ravens win glory

Justin Tucker is a fan favorite here in Baltimore. And why shouldn't he be? He's one of the best kickers in the NFL, he's been clutch when the Ravens have needed him to win games, and his electrifying personality makes it easy for fans to love him on and off the field. But if it weren't for the struggles of Steven Hauschka in 2009, the Ravens might not have Tucker or the Lombardi that he helped us win.

Steven Hauschka was claimed off of waivers by the Ravens in 2008 and he was mainly used to handle kickoffs and long field goals.
