The last play is cincinnati bengals The violation on Thursday night was marred by a penalty. But the referee didn't call anyone.
of baltimore ravens We were able to run out the clock after kick-off and the rest was history.
After scoring to tie the score at 35-34, the Bengals decided to go for two. They hadn't stopped the Ravens on four straight possessions and thought they had a chance to win the game. This decision was the right one.
After the snap, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw the ball and was hit in the face by a Ravens defender. The play was reminiscent of last Thursday night's game, when Sam Darnold was grabbed by his facemask without a call to end the game.
As the play progressed, the Ravens also grabbed Cincinnati tight end Mike Gesicki and did not allow him to release him. That's a clear defensive holding call. (Although he may have been acting a little.)
Amazon Prime analyst Terry Macaulay criticized the no-call, as did Al Michaels on a game-by-game basis. Both penalties would have given the Bengals a chance from the 1-yard line instead of the 2-yard line.
Instead, the Bengals' failed onside kick nearly ended the game.
Currently, Baltimore is in the driver's seat for a playoff spot, while the Bengals have been languishing in ninth place.
