field goal that would have sent the game to overtime. one day later, cundiff stood at his locker in owings mills and vowed that the miss will make him better. >> these kind of situations, they don't define a person, but it's the response, in my opinion, that defines somebody. so i can either go ahead and roll over, or i can pick myself up and know that the sting is going to sting. but i'm going to get back to work and prepare for next year. >> reporter: a clean-shaven joe flacco also met with the media. he was better than tom brady sunday, but still ended up on the losing side. it's a defeat that flacco is still trying to understand. >> you don't really know what to think and how to feel. so i think he kind of just, every now and then, you get different feelings. and as the day goes on, i think, you know, at one second, you're like, okay. you know, we gave it all we had. and the next second, you're kind of frustrated that we didn't pull it all through. >> reporter: and from the bitterness of defeat, to the business that is ahead, there are contracts to consider. joe flacco has one year

remaining on his deal. he said today, he definitely would like to get a contract extension done this off season. plus, there are other ravens who are looming free agents. good players like ray rice and ben grubbs, jared johnson, and cory read redding. a lot to be done in the off season. more on the ravens coming up in sports. back to you for now. >> ouch, sure did. that's right, mark. the ravens are 1-2 in the afc championship games. all have been on the road. today's weather matches the mood of ravens fans. visibility is limited. live look outside right now. just a miserable start to the new workweek. the question now is, what's next? wjz is live with first warning weather coverage. meteorologist bernadette woods and bob turk will will let you know -- us know what to expect. >> deferly a blue monday or -- definitely a blue monday or gray monday. we still have a lot of low clouds and fog in many areas.

condense with big fog. it is still sitting on top of us. and will for the -- most of the night, into the baltimore region and to the west of us. however, you can see, farther west, south and west, there's a lot of warm air. and it's making its way into the aberdeen mountains. that air will eventually move our direction, as soon as we can get the air out of here. we'll have more. back inside. scandalous allegations against a catholic priest in baltimore county. he is accused of walking around without his pants on, inside an adult book and video shop. wjz is live at the priest's church in towson. and mike hellgren has more on the allegations. >> reporter: the church of the immaculate conception says they know it's shocking and painful to parishioners to hear this news, but they wanted to be transparent about it, about what happened to a priest that has served this community for several years. >> reporter: police say they caught a priest from the church of the immaculate conception in towson, with his pants down, inside an adult store in
