http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21886...see-titans

In it, he states that the "Chargers, Bills and Ravens are fighting with the Titans for the two available wildcard spots. All three of those teams need the Titans to lose or tie to have a chance to make the playoffs".

But that isn't true for the Ravens. All the Ravens need to do is win against the Bengals regardless if the Titans win or not. So that's not true. I know everyone makes mistakes but the more of his write-ups that I read, the more mistakes I find he makes. I have found quite a few in recent articles he has written.

Meh... he's the Jaguars' (along with other teams) beat writer for ESPN. That alone should say something.

Regarding the Ravens, he's right. They either need to win or have the Titans or Bills lose, more specifically the Titans. If the Bills lose it doesn't make a difference but if the Titans lose then they (the Ravens) are in.

Take a look at the scenarios.

That's not how I'm reading what he wrote. To me he is making the mistake of saying that the Ravens need the Titans to lose or end in a tie in order to make the playoffs. That's not right. The Ravens can still make it in if they win and they can still make it in even if the Titans win too. So what he is saying isn't true.
