With 26 seconds left in the game Buffalo sat with a first and goal at the four, with one timeout left, and down by four points. They had effectively passed all the way downfield, but on first down they ran Roland Hooks up the middle for no gain. Another run on second down also got them no yards, then they had to spike the ball with 10 seconds left to allow for a final 4th and goal play. This was an incomplete pass and so Baltimore had held on to win. Not sure why Buffalo decided to run on 2nd and goal with no time outs, but it's a huge win for Baltimore who could not have afforded that loss in their hopes to make the playoffs.
