So what the heck happened just before the half? You know, that whole delay of game-Taylor Heinicke-Graham Gano 54-yard field goal sequence?

Let's have those who were involved explain.

Head coach Ron Rivera: "No, the delay was not intentional. Because at that point, in all honesty, Cam just didn't kneel, didn't want to throw it."

Heinicke: "Cam didn't feel comfortable not practicing this week and trying to make that throw. So he took the delay of game and then we were still trying to figure out what to do. It was chaos there for a good second."

Tight end Greg Olsen: "We were torn between kicking a field goal – the wind was crazy – or throwing a Hail Mary."

Rivera: "(Special teams coordinator) Chase Blackburn had told me prior to that, that there was crosswind coming through on that side and (Gano) wasn't as accurate from that."

Newton: "I knew how I was feeling at that time and felt that Heineken put our team in the best situation."

Heinicke: "They were like, 'Taylor, can you throw it that far?' I was like, 'Yeah!' So they were like, 'Go in there, then!' I was like, 'Get on the ball! Hail Mary, go, go, go, go!' Next thing you know, I saw like eight guys on the line, so I knew they were going to try to pressure me."

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh: "That was not the call we wanted to be in right there."

Olsen: "All of the sudden the guy that was out on me (linebacker Terrell Suggs) started walking in to rush the passer, so I just started screaming for Taylor."

Heinicke: "Greg was yelling at me while he was going out for the route. 'Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!' That's all he was yelling as the ball was getting snapped."

Olsen: "I don't know if he heard me or if he saw the same thing. I didn't really do anything, I just kind of flowed off the line and you've just got to try and catch it and then obviously it's a race to get out of bounds."

Heinicke: "He did the smart thing of just getting as much as he could, got out of bounds and gave Graham a shot and he made it. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. It was pretty chaotic, but at least we got points out of it."
