Ravens miss it

In hindsight. Dumb call. But ... balls

EDIT- Ravens scored a TD in the last seconds of the game against Steelers. the extra point would have tied the game and sent the game in over time. Ravens go for to and the win and Lamar misses a wide open pass.

*With T.J. Watt directly in his face forcing him to throw the awkward pass.

The thing I was cursing the most at the end of that game, was Boswell kicking the ball out of bounds after Pittsburgh's go ahead score to start the Ravens final possession at the 40 yard line.  If the Ravens don't get that first 40 yards for free on that drive, they probably don't even get into the endzone in a minute 30 with 1 timeout. 

As much as I agree that it takes balls to go for 2 rather than an extra point to go for Overtime, I also think Harbaugh's rationale was that the Steelers just scored 17 points in the 4th Quarter, and he didn't want to take the chance of Big Ben getting to lead another game winning drive against his defense.
