BALTIMORE -- Doug Pederson decided to go for the win, mainly because he had nothing to lose.In a season filled with defeats, the Philadelphia Eagles were presented with the opportunity Sunday to pull off an upset.All they had to do to beat the Baltimore Ravens was to cover 2 measly yards on one play.After rookie quarterback Carson Wentz ran for a touchdown to get Philadelphia to 27-26 with 4 seconds left, Pederson used his last timeout.He then ordered his offense onto the field, nixing the conversion kick that would have forced overtime in favor of the 2-point conversion that would win it.I had my mind made up before we scored, Pederson said. If we had a chance to win it, we were going to go for it.Unfortunately for Philadelphia, Wentz threw a pass over the middle that bounced off receiver Jordan Matthews after being tipped at the line by linebacker C.J. Mosley.Not long after that, Pederson and the Eagles (5-9) walked off the field with their fifth straight defeat and seventh in eight games. But their heads were held high.Pedersons decision may not have worked, but that doesnt mean it wasnt the right call.I loved it. I loved it, Wentz said. It showed coachs aggressiveness and his belief in us. I thought we had it. We had it and they made a good play at the line of scrimmage. It just didnt go our way.The Ravens put on all-out blitz against the rookie, and it worked. As a result, Baltimore edged closer to a potential playoff berth.Coming into this game, the Ravens needed to win their last three games to clinch the AFC North title. Baltimore got this one out of the way, thanks in part to Pedersons decision to avoid taking his chances with overtime.Shout out to our defense for getting the job done, Ravens kicker Justin Tucker said. That was a huge way to keep our season alive.The Eagles season, conversely, went south a few weeks ago.They could have easily kicked it, Ravens cornerback Jerraud Powers said. But, they really have nothing that theyre playing for, so of course theyre going to go for the win.Of course. Down 27-17 with just over six minutes left, the Eagles rallied.On the road against a team in the midst of a playoff push, Philadelphia gave the Ravens all they could handle.The Eagles fell short, but the disappointment was tempered by the knowledge that they played to win -- right down to the final 4 seconds.We gave ourselves a chance at the end, linebacker Brandon Graham said. We just came up short on a 2-point play. Thats cool. Id take that all day because we put ourselves in position. If we get the 2, everybody would love us.They didnt get it, but the players didnt fault Pedersons decision. Rather, they embraced it.Everyone on the team was behind the decision, safety Malcolm Jenkins said. We had them back on the heels and we had the momentum.The game turned when the Ravens opted to pass with a 10-point lead and a first down on the Philadelphia 11. The pass was picked off by Jordan Hicks, setting the stage for the Eagles comeback.Unlike Pedersons decision to go for 2, there was little gray area when determining if the Ravens made the right call to have Joe Flacco pass in that situation.All time worst call ever, coach John Harbaugh said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Shoes Online Free Delivery .

LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Theres nothing like a visit from the Jacksonville Jaguars to make the Tennessee Titans remember how to protect their home field.Marcus Mariota threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns to end his home struggles and the Titans had their highest point total of the season in a 36-22 victory over the Jaguars on Thursday night.Since the start of the 2014 season, the Titans are 3-0 at home against the Jaguars and 1-17 against everybody else. The Titans are 3-8 in home games started by Mariota, a second-year pro out of Oregon.It was important, Mariota said. To give our fans an opportunity to see how this team can play, it was huge. Hopefully this will build a foundation for the rest of the year and give the fans what they really want.Mariota was 18 of 22 and had a 148.1 passer rating, the second-highest of his career. DeMarco Murray ran for 123 yards and a touchdown to help the Titans bounce back four days after squandering a lead in a 34-26 home loss to Indianapolis.I thought it was good to have a short turnaround, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. It was a difficult loss we had against Indy. We had to get focused right on these guys immediately, especially with a prime-time game. We wanted to show what were capable of doing, show the country what were trying to do here.The Titans (4-4) gained a season-high 494 total yards and won for the third time in four games. They scored on six straight possessions during a stretch that began in the first quarter and stretched into the third period.Tennessee already led 3-0 before Mariota threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to Kendall Wright on the first play of the second quarter. Rookie Derrick Henry capped the Titans next drive by scoring his first career touchdown on a 6-yard run.Murray added a 14-yard touchdown run 3 1/2 minutes later.After starting out to his right and encountering traffic, Murray reversed his field, capitalized on a downfield block from Mariota and dove into the left corner of the end zone for his sixth touchdown run of the season.Jacksonville (2-5) trailed 24-0 by the time it got its second first down of the game midway through the second quarter. The Titans led 27-0 at halftime.Its a broken record, Jagguars quarterback Blake Bortles said.dddddddddddd. Its a lack of execution. Its dumb mistakes. The same stuff every week.Bortles threw three touchdown passes and went 33 of 54 for 337 yards, but much of his production came with the game out of reach.UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY: This is the first time the Titans have reached the midway point of the season without a losing record since 2011, when they also were 4-4. That 2011 team went on to finish 9-7.LARGER WORKLOAD FOR HENRY: Titans rookie Derrick Henry had a combined three carries in the two games leading up to this one, but the Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama was much busier Thursday.Henry had 16 carries for 60 yards to set career highs in both categories. He also caught four passes for 37 yards.RARE RECOVERY: LeShaun Sims got the Titans first fumble recovery of the season in the third quarter after Jacksonvilles Marqise Lee muffed a punt return. The Titans had entered the night as the only team in the NFL that hadnt recovered an opponents fumble.ANOTHER SLOW START: The Jaguars couldnt advance beyond their own 26 on their first series, continuing a long string of futility on opening possessions.The Jaguars havent scored a touchdown on their opening series of a game since the second week of the 2015 season against Miami. That 21-game drought marks the longest any team has gone without reaching the end zone on its first possession.UNHAPPY HOMECOMING: This marked a return home for Jaguars rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey, a first-round pick from Florida State who played high school football at Brentwood (Tennessee) Academy.But it didnt turn out quite the way he wanted.Ramsey was called for unnecessary roughness in the first quarter. In the second period, Ramsey was pushed backward on Henrys 6-yard run. One play later, Henry scored on another 6-yard carry.UP NEXT: The Jaguars go back on the road to visit Kansas City on Nov. 6. Now that theyve finished a three-game home stand, the Titans play at San Diego on Nov. 6.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
