With the ball in his hands, Jackson converted the 4th-down play to seal the victory and give the Ravens the narrow, 36-35 win. Video showed Harbaugh asking Jackson if he wanted to go for it, the quarterback said let’s go and the drama ensued.
"I’m like ‘Hell yeah’ and I said it again," Jackson replied when asked what he said when Harbaugh wondered whether he wanted to go for it on 4th down. "Like Seattle two years ago."
Harbaugh told reporters when he entered his press conference he was "speechless."
Jackson’s play in the fourth quarter proved to be the big difference in the 36-35 victory.
The quarterback ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 14:13 to play in the game. The Baltimore defense would step up and force the Chiefs to punt on their next drive. Jackson followed up by running and flipping into the end zone to put the Ravens ahead by a point.

It appeared the team was getting ready to wind the clock down and line up for a potential game-winning field goal.
