Watch: Marcus Peters flips out on John Harbaugh over fourth down decision
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is not afraid to be bold and go against the popular consensus with his in-game decisions. But his decision late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills is pretty outrageous, even for him.
With the Ravens and Bills tied, 20-20, with less than four minutes to play and his offense facing a fourth-and-goal from inside the five, Harbaugh elected to keep his future Hall of Fame kicker (Justin Tucker) on the sidelines and go for a touchdown.
It backfired horribly, as Lamar Jackson was intercepted in the end zone, keeping the game tied.
Buffalo then drove down the field and kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired.
All of this enraged Ravens defensive back Marcus Peters who could be seen screaming at Harbaugh and needed to be restrained.
Harbaugh attempted to explain his decision after the game saying he felt it gave the Ravens the best chance to win.
He also added that he and Peters are on the same page, he still loves Peters, and he hopes that Peters still loves him.
The Ravens lost a couple of games last season when Harbaugh elected to go for late game two point conversions instead of game-tying extra points. He obviously has not lost his aggressiveness. Let's see if he still has it now after this.
The bigger concern for the Ravens is that this is the second time in three weeks they have blown big second half leads to lose. Two weeks ago they lost a 35-14 lead against the Miami Dolphins, and then let a 20-3 lead slip away in this game. They are now 2-2 on the season.
