Botched call by the refs, back when we beat San Diego
Alright, so if you look at the numbers, the Ravens are only one game behind the Steelers and could easily win the division.
Suppose they beat us on Sunday and go on to beat Dallas and Jacksonville. Further, suppose Pittsburgh loses to Tennessee and beats Cleveland. Nobody would suggest that this is an unlikely scenario.
The problem is that Pittsburgh and Baltimore are tied in terms of record, head-to-head, division record, and conference record. It them comes down to point differential. Both teams being crap on offense and amazing on defense, they have similar points differentials. As of now, Pittsburgh has 106 and Baltimore is at 116. Over the next two weeks, that could get closer. And there's a chance that it could be within 7... In which case Baltimore wins the division because of something as absurd as a confused ref who botched his announcement after a review!
