Tucker's game-winning kick looked like it might hook left at first, but it faded to the right at the last second to sneak inside the upright.

It was Tucker's 14th career game-winning field goal, but he's not so callous to it all that he doesn't feel the pressure of each one.

"There's always nerves, butterflies, whatever you want to call it. I would go as far as to say that in the smallest bit of time there, terror," Tucker said.

"But at the end of the day, none of that matters. You can be equal parts nervous, scared, confident, excited and none of it really matters. All that really matters is those 1.3 seconds between the snap, the hold and when the ball leaves my foot – just doing our jobs.

The most accurate kicker in NFL history (90.5 percent) hasn't missed a field goal through five games this season – 10-for-10. He was also a major weapon on kickoffs, pinning the Steelers deep so many times that it affected Head Coach Mike Tomlin's overtime strategy.

Yet, somehow, Tucker has gone to just two Pro Bowls. It's still early in the season, but he seems on pace for another trip – and a lot more honors down the road.
