Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week following a clutch performance in Rio de Janeiro. Loop drilled a career-long 56-yard field goal with one second remaining to secure a 34-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The kick marked his first career game-winner and Baltimore's first regulation game-winning field goal since October 2022.

Loop is the first Ravens kicker to earn the weekly honor since Justin Tucker in September 2021. The second-year kicker has started the regular season strongly, converting five of six field-goal attempts and all 11 extra points after enduring a difficult preseason and overcoming a costly miss late last season.
