Ravens kicker Tyler Loop and his fiancée, Julia Otto, were harassed on social media after his 44-yard missed field goal sealed Sunday’s 26-24 loss, which gave the AFC North title to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers and ended Baltimore’s season.
Some made it personal in the comments section of the couple’s joint Instagram post from their March engagement.
“Hope you get divorced,” one person wrote.

“Still have time to cancel the wedding,” another added.
Others said Loop — a sixth-round rookie who replaced veteran Justin Tucker — should leave Baltimore.

Some shared GIFs of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson looking frustrated.
Comments on that post have been set to limited.
Otto’s Instagram is private.
They have been together since Loop’s playing days at Arizona.

Many defended Loop and said people shouldn’t leave negative comments on the couple’s engagement post.
Loop was visibly emotional after Baltimore came up short of securing a third straight division title.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was seen consoling the rookie, as seen in a video of them walking to the visitor locker room at Acrisure Stadium.
“For it to end like that sucks, and I want to do better,” Loop said. “Unfortunately, the nature of the job is you have makes, and those are awesome, and unfortunately, you have misses, and for that to happen tonight sucks.”
“The second it made contact with my foot, I felt it lower,” Loop said when asked about the point he realized the ball wasn’t good.
“We talk about hitting on the fourth lace of the shoe. I felt a little lower down the foot and hit it thin.”
He emphasized that “it’s time to move on” and prepare for next season.
Loop made 90 percent of his field goal tries (30-for-33) before his first game-winning attempt.
The Ravens (8-9) missed the playoffs for the first time since 2021.
The shocking loss opened the floodgates for questions on Jackson and Harbaugh’s future with the team, respectively.
During his post-game press conference, Jackson told reporters he was too “stunned” to discuss Harbaugh’s future.
