BALTIMORE β€” John Harbaugh wanted no part of playing it safe. 

Not with his team having stormed back from 14 down in the fourth quarter to pull within a point of the Green Bay Packers and now holding a chance to win the game with seconds left on the clock.

Not with only a 50-50 chance of getting the ball first in overtime, and not against Aaron Rodgers, who is well adept at directing game-winning drives.
