The Cincinnati Bengals’ 35-34 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, which ended their playoff hopes, was both controversial and entertaining.
In a game marred by questionable officiating, the Ravens clinched their seventh win of the season after the Bengals attempted a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter but were unable to score. With the Bengals down 35-34, Joe Burrow targeted tight end Tanner Hudson in the end zone for a game-winning play, but Hudson ultimately couldn’t make it.
After the Bengals’ loss, star receiver Ja’Marr Chase was asked if he thought the ball should have gone to him on that final play.
“Yeah, I mean, as a receiver, you always want the ball, but yeah, sometimes Joe can’t see the ball,” Chase answered.
