John Harbaugh: Going for TD Over FG Gave Ravens 'Best Chance' to Beat Bills

The Baltimore Ravens could have taken the lead in the final five minutes of Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills if they kicked a field goal on 4th-and-goal from the 2-yard line, but head coach John Harbaugh elected to go for it.

Lamar Jackson threw an interception in the end zone—negating the field-position advantage—and the Bills capitalized with a game-winning field goal on the final possession to clinch a 23-20 victory.

"I felt like it gave us the best chance to win the game because seven [points], the worst that happens is if they go down the field and score—and I think we'll get them stopped—but if they go down the field and score a touchdown, the worst thing that can happen is you're in overtime," Harbaugh told reporters.
