The competition for the Baltimore Ravens place-kicking job is over. Matt Stover is the winner, by forfeit.

Former NFL Europa kicker Rhys Lloyd has encountered visa problems coming to the United States from overseas. Judging by the way Stover played Monday night in the Ravens' preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, Lloyd might as well stay put.

Stover made all five of his field goal attempts and accounted for 17 points in Baltimore's 29-3 rout. If there was any lingering doubt about his range, the 39-year-old ended the discussion by making two 50-yarders with room to spare.

Stover has 18 years of NFL experience and is lone holdover from Baltimore's move from Cleveland in 1996. There's no telling how long he will be suiting up before finally deciding there are better things to do than boot a football between two yellow poles.
