Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker missed a 45-yard field goal as the field caved in beneath his left plant foot during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game in San Francisco.
Tucker fell awkwardly after stepping into the small sinkhole, and his kick hit the right upright. The play may not have made the difference in the game, as the Niners won 25-20 in the end. However, it certainly seems like an unfair "home field advantage" that should never have happened.
This would appear to be another incident to add to the list of issues with the field at Levi's Stadium, which is only in its second year serving as the home of the 49ers. You would think that a quality field would have been one of the top priorities of building the new stadium, but apparently not.
H/T FTW.
