The 2011 AFC Championship wasn’t just a missed opportunity for the Ravens—it was a gut punch that fans still feel to this day. In this episode of Sports Scar’d, we revisit “The Cundiff Game,” the night Billy Cundiff missed a game-tying field goal that could have sent Baltimore to the Super Bowl. But this story runs deeper than the kick.
Told through the eyes of Alfred “Lemon” Jacobs—a lifelong Ravens fan and older brother to a Patriots fan—this episode unpacks what it’s like to lose big, loud, and in front of family.
We mix slow-motion visuals, haunting piano, and real crowd audio to replay the moment in painful detail. Interviews lit with soft, natural light bring raw emotion to the surface, while reenactments put you right back in that tense 2011 living room. The wall punch wasn’t symbolic. It was real.
You’ll also trace Baltimore’s rise from heartbreak to redemption—highlighting the grit of Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, the chaos of the early quarterback carousel, and the ultimate revenge during the 2012 Super Bowl run. And just when the wound feels closed, we compare that missed field goal to newer heartbreaks like Lee Evans’ drop and Mark Andrews’ missed shot against the Bengals.
What to expect:
- A raw Ravens fan account of the 2011 AFC Championship
- Slow-burn cinematography and chilling audio design
- Reenactments of the exact moment the kick went wide
- The emotional aftermath and what it meant for family ties
- A full-circle redemption through the 2012 Super Bowl
- A bonus segment tying past pain to today’s playoff struggles
If you’ve ever thrown something across the room after a loss, or stood frozen in disbelief as everything unraveled, this is your story too.
🎥 Watch now on Sports Scar’d, where pain gets its proper tribute.
