Baltimore Ravens fans know the feeling all too well. Joe Flacco moved the offense down the field with ease on Monday Night Football against a heavily favored Arizona Cardinals squad on the road, victory within reach. He proceeded to make an ill advised back foot throw over the head of Crockett Gillmore in the end zone, resulting in a game ending interception.
It led to a collective “arrgggh” (at least I presume it did) across Ravens Nation. And perfectly summarized the entire 2015 season for this team, which seems to be “so close, yet so far away.” The loss also keeps them in the basement among NFL teams, a place they aren’t used to occupying.
