Another week, another controversial decision by the officials.
The Ravens pulled off a thrilling 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football as both teams went back and forth in the 4th quarter.
Late in the 4th quarter, the Bengals drove down the field and scored a touchdown to make the score 35-34. They decided to go for two and on the two-point conversion play, the referees missed two clear penalties that would’ve allowed the Bengals to have another attempt at the two point play.

This comes on top of the fact that the officials had missed a clear facemask penalty after Ravens’ defensive lineman Justin Matidbuke grabbed Joe Burrow’s facemask.
