"At Wednesday's "State of the Ravens" news conference, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti was asked about Billy Cundiff's missed field-goal attempt against the Patriots, a 32-yard kick that could have sent the game into overtime.

He said he "dies with" players who experience such struggles because they have become like family to him.

"When you work as hard as you do to put a team together like this, this is like watching your kids in high school play basketball. You don't scream at your neighbor's kid because he's not passing it enough. They become like sons to you, so you feel for them," he said. "This business is about managing your mistakes and managing your failures. Inopportune things like that kill these guys, and I die with them. I don't lash out."
