Baltimore Ravens' John Harbaugh defends going for TD over field goal on 4th down in loss to Buffalo Bills

play

John Harbaugh defended his decision to go for a touchdown instead of the go-ahead field goal late in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

If they go down the field and score a touchdown, the worst thing that can happen is that we won't be able to stop them.

Peters yelled at him on the sideline as the Bills lined up for the winning field goal. Peters threw his helmet in the air after he was pulled away by an assistant coach. The reporters entered the locker room.

Harbaugh said that emotions ran high. He and I have an honest relationship and we are on the same page. I hope he's still in love with me. I am a Marcus Peters person.

The Ravens faced a fourth down from the Bills' 2-yard line after they failed to hold a 20-3 lead. Instead of trying a 19-yard field goal, Baltimore put the ball in the hands of Lamar Jackson, who missed an open receiver and threw an interception.

The winning field goal was set up on the 12th play of the game.

It's a four-down game now if you kick a field goal there. "You're putting them out there, you're putting your defense at a disadvantage because they've got four downs to convert all the way down the field, and then you lose the game on a touchdown."

Harbaugh said that it didn't turn out that way and we lost the game. If you look at it in a different way, you can understand why we did it.

The Ravens had a 74.5% win probability if they went for the touchdown and a 69.7% win probability if they kicked a field goal.

If we had executed that, we would have scored a touchdown and there would be no question. Everyone would be happy. We will get it next time.

Jackson didn't see Duvernay in the end zone, but he waved his arms in the air.

Jackson was asked what he saw on that play. I was trying to see where my men were, but Duvernay was late. That would have been a touchdown if I'd seen him right away.

This was Jackson's first career fourth down pick up.

The defense made an error. The players were told to let Singletary score after Odafe Oweh tackled him at the 3- yard line. The field goal was kicked with three seconds remaining.

Oweh said that the call was either to strip the ball or allow him to score. I'm trying to get rid of the ball. You will see film if you watch it. The man fell down. I would allow him to score if the call was to let him do so.

The Ravens became the second team in NFL history to suffer multiple losses after leading by 17 or more points. The Vikings were one of the teams.

After leading by 21 points in the fourth quarter, the Ravens lost to the Dolphins. The Bills defeated Baltimore two weeks later after the Ravens held a 17-point lead.

Two of the biggest second-half meltdowns in franchise history will not deter the Ravens from bouncing back.

I am a dog." "We have a lot of dogs." We are ready to leave. We're going to improve. We have been here before.
