I was just wondering the same. Scott Hanson on Red Zone said that's what footbally analytics would have you do, but I don't really get it.Can someone explain why Rivera would go for two down 8 early in the fourth. An EP would’ve made it a seven point game and if course th me two point try fails.
That was utterly bizarre. The announcers are perplexed as well. It’s Rivera so it’s not out of the question that he genuinely thought it was a nine point differential.Can someone explain why Rivera would go for two down 8 early in the fourth.

It's because you likely need a 2 point conversion regardless, and if you're going to miss on the attempt, you'd rather it happen with a lot of time left than with no time left and no options.Can someone explain why Rivera would go for two down 8 early in the fourth.

It’s moot now but down 7 you surely do not need a two point conversion to force OT. They were down 14 when they scored the TD that led to the decision.It's because you likely need a 2 point conversion regardless, and if you're going to miss on the attempt, you'd rather it happen with a lot of time left than with no time left and no options.
No. They were down 8 so the extra point would have made it 7. Inexplicably Rivera went for 2. But as loshjott notes the D conveniently makes it moot by rolling over.It's because you likely need a 2 point conversion regardless, and if you're going to miss on the attempt, you'd rather it happen with a lot of time left than with no time left and no options.
I actually wasn't following the game, I assumed that "down 8" meant before the TD. I get what you mean, it was down 8 after the TD and before the 2 point attempt. Sure, if you're down 14 and get a TD and your goal is to force OT, a 2 pt conversion makes no sense.It’s moot now but down 7 you surely do not need a two point conversion to force OT.

That was the most Wash thing ever . . . Of course if they hadn’t gone for 2 & hit the previous XP it would be a one score game now.Well now we know why Rivera went for two. Extra point shanked, Wash down nine.
Tho that squib or whatever was terribleJustin Tucker is absurd.
Even having the worst blown game of the last 20 minutes is pretty bad when you look at the Browns game.The Ravens are doing their best to have the worst blown game of the season in week 2
If they can win this game, they have a right to feel that way.They’re probably saying the division is wide open on Sons of Mark Duper
