Forget heaping the blame on Mark Andrews, Jamal Lewis says the responsible party for the Ravens’ doomed two-point conversion attempt on Sunday is whoever first called the play!!
The Baltimore legend chopped it up with TMZ Sports on Monday, some 24 hours after the Ravens lost a heartbreaking Divisional Round playoff matchup to the Bills, and he made it clear, he despised the play call that decided the game.
The two-point conversion is no good 😳

Lewis doesn’t understand why the team opted for a sprint-out pass to Andrews — when they could have simply turned around and gave the ball to Derrick Henry.
“You know, your 250-, 260-pound running back that you’re paying,” he said. “That just doesn’t make sense.”
After Andrews dropped the Jackson pass, Baltimore failed to get the ensuing onside kick … and Buffalo then went on to run out the clock.
Lewis told us if Henry gets the ball, or if the team merely opted for a Jackson designed run, things could have ended up very different.
“At least run it,” the former Ravens tailback said. “Don’t put it in the air. You know what I mean?”

It was hardly the only call Lewis was upset with — he also thought the team should have kicked the extra point instead of going for two after scoring a TD earlier in the game.
The 45-year-old, though, is nonetheless still optimistic Jackson and the Ravens will rebound next season … telling us they’ve just got to stay healthy.
