Big stats from a pass rusher who wasn't playing in the game if true

Marlon Humphrey had strong words about the Ravens' defense:"These wins are getting harder to enjoy based off what we're doing in the pass defense. When I was a rookie, first year guy, second year guy, that's how I looked up to the standard that was there. In the pass defense, we've really lost that standard.
And, you know, I feel like that falls on me."We're going to keep chasing at it. We're going to keep working at it, because I'm just I'm not really satisfied with what I've built in the secondary, where it's gone. I just don't think playing like this, we can go far."

There have been 2 instances in NFL history where a QB had:
30+ completions
300+ passing yards
4+ TD passes
multiple 40+ yard TD passes
no more than 1 INT...and yet still lost. Those 2 instances were Joe Burrow vs. the Ravens in Week 5 & Joe Burrow vs. the Ravens again tonight

We can absolutely agree to disagree it was dumb

Why do you think it’s dumb? It’s just probability.

Inputs/Assumptions:
1) OT is 50/50
2) McPherson makes Extra Points @ 97% clip
3) Bengals stop Ravens from FG @ end of regulation 75% of the time (This number doesn’t really matter - it’ll give a different end % but the difference between the two options will remain the same)

Variable:
1) Bengals chance of converting 2 Pt Conversion (Will be designated by ‘X’)

Odds to win kicking PAT:
= (McPherson Making PAT) * (Stop Ravens in Regulation) * (Win OT)

= (.97)(.75)(.5) = 36.375% Chance to win

Odds to win going for 2:
= (Making 2 Pt Conversion) * (Stop Ravens in Regulation)

= (X)(.75) = .75X

When is it worth it?:
You’d want to go for two if it helps your win probability. So at worst you’d want a chance to win (at minimum) of 37%

.75X = .37

X needs to equal at least .4933 (or) 49.33%

Conclusion:
If Bengals think they can score on the two point try at least 49.33% of the time, it is the correct choice to go for it.
