John Harbaugh strongly defends decision to go for fake field goal

BALTIMORE -- Last week, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh regretted a decision to accept a penalty that ultimately extended a touchdown drive.

This time, Harbaugh believed his risky call was still the right one to make.

After Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Washington Redskins, Harbaugh strongly defended the Ravens going for a fake field goal in the second quarter. With Baltimore ahead 10-6, the Ravens came away with no points after kicker Justin Tucker underthrew tight end Crockett Gillmore instead of attempting a 34-yard field goal.

"I'm not second-guessing it -- you can second-guess it -- but I'm not," Harbaugh said.
