The Ravens punted on 4th and 3 from their own 38. Super Bowl winning HC Harbaugh, with the 3rd highest winning percentage of active coaches, said this:
“If it’s fourth-and-3, if you don’t get it, they’re in field goal range,” Harbaugh said Sunday. “So, I think punting it is probably what most people would do there.”
ESPN Analytics DISAGREED saying 8.1% better chance to win if they go for it.
So . . GO FOR IT or punt?
Now, about that ESPN Analytics -- what if your very mobile QB and number one weapon . . wasn't mobile anymore?
"Why is a lot being made about that? But anyways, I was actually cramping the drive before that,” Jackson said, via video from Sarah Ellison of Ravens Vault. “The turnover [a fumble by Derrick Henry] happened. But I went to the sideline, and if anybody paid attention to me, I was drinking pickle juice on the sideline already. I was like, ‘I need to get hydrated, like I’m cramping. I’m starting to feel cramps.’ Then, we went back out there, and obviously fourth-and-3 happened. But if I wasn’t cramping, we definitely would have went for it. We definitely would have went for it, I believe.”
