Ravens K Billy Cundiff Says He Was Rushed By Scoreboard Error

The man who botched the 32-yarder that would've tied up the AFC title game in the final moments has taken responsibility for the miss, but Ravens K Billy Cundiff goes on to explain that an error on the stadium scoreboard rushed him into action. Cundiff tells Stefan Fatsis, via Deadspin, that he typically does not watch the action on the field, preferring to monitor the scoreboard, and that the Gillette Stadium scoreboard read third down when it was really fourth. The scoreboard read first and second downs on second and third downs, a discrepancy which Ravens P.R. director Kevin Byrne confirmed to Fatsis after team officials watched video of the game. So Cundiff had to sprint onto the field to avoid a delay of game, and shanked it wide left to send the Patriots to Super Bowl XLVI.

In times like this, you take it on the chin, accept responsibility, man up and move on.

Trying to place blame elsewhere just makes you sound like a whining, ball-less bitch as well as a choke artist.
