Harbaugh Isn’t Worried About His Challenges Record
The Ravens misplaced two challenges in Sunday’s recreation, which price them timeouts that would have modified how issues performed out on the finish of every half. But Harbaugh is not going to dissect his full problem file simply because Sunday’s two did not go his approach.
“Basically, you determine, in order for you to have a profitable proportion in challenges, simply do not problem stuff. Just let it go,” Harbaugh stated. “If you have got one which it’s best to have challenged that you do not problem, it does not get counted towards your file.
“But I do not assume that approach. I’m not anxious in regards to the file that somebody may be printing about what your problem file is. I’m making an attempt to take into consideration the chance and the sport to see if we might have an opportunity to use a problem to our benefit to strive to win the sport.”
One got here on a Zay Flowers “catch” that was dominated incomplete. Harbaugh bought a superb have a look at it from the sideline and on the video replay boards and thought Flowers’ hand was beneath the ball. He thought it was most likely beneath 50/50 that they’d overturn the decision.
“I believed, ‘You know what, I do not thoughts a timeout proper right here. Let me see if we will get them to flip that one over,’ as a result of his hand was beneath the ball,” he stated. “But I can see why they did not overturn it.”
The second got here when Adams made a toe-dragging 30-yard catch within the fourth quarter. That was on the other aspect of the sector, so Harbaugh had to depend on a fast TV replay whereas the Raiders rushed to the road of scrimmage to get the subsequent play off. Harbaugh thought it was actually shut, so he took a bet.
“I made a decision within the warmth of the second to go forward and take a shot at it, as a result of I felt like if we win it, that is going to actually assist us, and if we do not win it, I’m hoping that timeout’s not going to come down and be the distinction, however I haven’t got the posh to know that we’re going to want that timeout for positive,” Harbaugh stated.
“If I’d have been extra conservative on that, I would not have thrown the flag, as a result of often in conditions like that, I’ll often throw it when I’m positive. I made a decision on that one to take a shot, and it ended up hurting us, as a result of we did not have the timeout on the finish of the sport.”
