Going up 8 is just too tempting, if it were 6 or 7 I think they go for it but their odds of wining up 8 are just huge. Let's say it's a coin flip that Baltimore engineers a touchdown drive. Then the conversion is another coin flip. And then it's a coin flip in overtime. That's 12.5% if you wanna say each thing is about as likely as not.
The fact that they stuffed Allen's run on the previous play probably factored in, too.
