Justin Tucker up to old pregame workout shenanigans ahead of Chiefs-Ravens

He clearly didn't learn his lesson the first time.

Football is upon us and so is the drama. Remember during the AFC Championship Game earlier this year when Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was warming up on the Kansas City Chiefs' side of the field ahead of the game? Remember all of the ensuing drama?

Well, Tucker is up to his old tricks once again. The Ravens kicker was warming up on the Chiefs' side of the field during warmups and there's a whole lot of "here we go again" in the air.

Some might have forgotten about this little kerfuffle from last year's AFC title game so here's a refresher. Tucker was warming up on the Chiefs' side of the field before the game, Travis Kelce got annoyed and moved his stuff (and clapped back at Tucker), and it was a whole thing. Tucker reassured everyone that the situation wasn't that big of a deal, yet here he is up to his old shenanigans once again.

The difference this time around is that there aren't Chiefs players around for Tucker's warm-up, which was not the case during the AFC Championship. Patrick Mahomes and the offensive players were on that side of the field when Tucker was going through his pregame warm-ups and the annoyance came to a head when Kelce tossed Tucker's stuff to the side.

The Ravens kicker said that he's been doing the same routine for over a decade and when Mahomes asked him to move his helmet, he thought he got it out of the way enough. That's when Kelce decided to move it further away and that's when everyone thought "Ohhhhh snap".

The game hasn't even started yet and there's already plenty of drama to go around. Let's hope the same result hits the Ravens in the first game of the 2024 season.
