BALTIMORE -- Doug Pederson decided to go for the win, mainly because he had nothing to lose.In a season filled with defeats, the Philadelphia Eagles were presented with the opportunity Sunday to pull off an upset.All they had to do to beat the Baltimore Ravens was to cover 2 measly yards on one play.After rookie quarterback Carson Wentz ran for a touchdown to get Philadelphia to 27-26 with 4 seconds left, Pederson used his last timeout.He then ordered his offense onto the field, nixing the conversion kick that would have forced overtime in favor of the 2-point conversion that would win it.I had my mind made up before we scored, Pederson said. If we had a chance to win it, we were going to go for it.Unfortunately for Philadelphia, Wentz threw a pass over the middle that bounced off receiver Jordan Matthews after being tipped at the line by linebacker C.J. Mosley.Not long after that, Pederson and the Eagles (5-9) walked off the field with their fifth straight defeat and seventh in eight games. But their heads were held high.Pedersons decision may not have worked, but that doesnt mean it wasnt the right call.I loved it. I loved it, Wentz said. It showed coachs aggressiveness and his belief in us. I thought we had it. We had it and they made a good play at the line of scrimmage. It just didnt go our way.The Ravens put on all-out blitz against the rookie, and it worked. As a result, Baltimore edged closer to a potential playoff berth.Coming into this game, the Ravens needed to win their last three games to clinch the AFC North title. Baltimore got this one out of the way, thanks in part to Pedersons decision to avoid taking his chances with overtime.Shout out to our defense for getting the job done, Ravens kicker Justin Tucker said. That was a huge way to keep our season alive.The Eagles season, conversely, went south a few weeks ago.They could have easily kicked it, Ravens cornerback Jerraud Powers said. But, they really have nothing that theyre playing for, so of course theyre going to go for the win.Of course. Down 27-17 with just over six minutes left, the Eagles rallied.On the road against a team in the midst of a playoff push, Philadelphia gave the Ravens all they could handle.The Eagles fell short, but the disappointment was tempered by the knowledge that they played to win -- right down to the final 4 seconds.We gave ourselves a chance at the end, linebacker Brandon Graham said. We just came up short on a 2-point play. Thats cool. Id take that all day because we put ourselves in position. If we get the 2, everybody would love us.They didnt get it, but the players didnt fault Pedersons decision. Rather, they embraced it.Everyone on the team was behind the decision, safety Malcolm Jenkins said. We had them back on the heels and we had the momentum.The game turned when the Ravens opted to pass with a 10-point lead and a first down on the Philadelphia 11. The pass was picked off by Jordan Hicks, setting the stage for the Eagles comeback.Unlike Pedersons decision to go for 2, there was little gray area when determining if the Ravens made the right call to have Joe Flacco pass in that situation.All time worst call ever, coach John Harbaugh said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Corey Grant Jersey . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. Logan Cooke Jersey . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. http://www.thejaguarsfansshop.com/Jaguars-Carson-Tinker-Draft-Jersey/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. Myles Jack Jersey .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head. Blake Bortles Jersey . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Where do the seamers go?There used to be a time when the pitch in Mohali was considered to be the best in India for fast bowlers. There was more bounce and the winter in the north assisted the seam bowlers more than the spinners. But that is the thing of the past and this pitch is no different from the ones we have witnessed in the recent past. The early morning chill ensured that the surface felt a little cold on the palm but the soil underneath wore the look considered ideal for spinners. Some of the cracks were moving even before the first ball was bowled. These cracks are expected to not only crumble but Im anticipating some of the pieces to come off completely. Toss, once again, is crucial.Hameed too young to drive?A young Test career always gives constant opportunities to follow the developing patterns. If you looked at Haseeb Hameeds wagon-wheel against the Indian quicks in this series, you will find that most of his runs have come behind the stumps. Since fast bowlers try to bowl fuller around the off stump with the new ball, most openers are competent drivers. Hameeds fledgling career is suggesting that while he is aware of where his off stump is (leaves a lot of balls alone), he is a reluctant driver. Perhaps, it is worth trying bowling a yard fuller to him in the outside off channel early on.What not to do when you misread the lengthJoe Roots dismissal highlighted the importance of judging the length while playing against spin. The ball that got rid of him was too full to go back to and the same happened a few times with Jonny Bairstow against Jayant Yadav.dddddddddddd. The cardinal rule of batting is that if you have misread the length, do not commit the second mistake by playing an attacking shot. Root did that and lost his wicket. Bairstow was fortunate because whenever he went back to a full ball, he tried to play with a straight bat.Gets Cook but puts down BairstowThe third ball of the 47th over, from R Ashwin, was well flighted and pitched full outside off, and that tempted Bairstow to attempt a cover drive. The ball turned sharply to find the inside edge and went back to Ashwin. The following delivery was on the same length, albeit a little closer and flatter, and that made the ball go straight after pitching. The variation was enough to induce another false cover drive. This time the ball kissed the outside edge. Unfortunately, Parthiv Patel failed to pouch it.Pitch too slow for bouncers?Both in Rajkot and Vizag, fast bowlers from both sides were liberal in using the short-ball trap. Not that both the pitches were seamer friendly but there was definitely more response from those pitches as compared to the one we have seen in Mohali. Even though India picked Moeen Ali with a bouncer, they used it very sparingly. The impression we got from outside was that the pitch is a little too low and slow, for the batsmen were getting enough time to ride the bounce. But then dont form an opinion till both teams have bowled on the pitch.
