The path ahead for the AFC North is lined with Ravens peering down from their perch.
Baltimore survived a 19-17 victory Sunday over the rival Cincinnati Bengals thanks to yet another late-second, game-winning field goal from kicker Justin Tucker. The end result is more important than how the Ravens played throughout the rest of the contest.
A week earlier, Baltimore found a way to lose its meeting with the Buffalo Bills when nearly the same exact type of decision needed to be made.
In Week 4, head coach John Harbaugh chose to go for it on 4th-and-goal from the 2-yard line with the game tied at 20 and 4:15 left to play. Ultimately, the Bills picked off Lamar Jackson, drove the ball down the field and kicked the game-winner.
