Al Michaels rightfully rips refs after 2 missed penalties on Bengals conversion
Officials clearly missed a pair of penalties on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night as the Cincinnati Bengals attempted a two-point conversion for a lead in the fourth quarter.
Joe Burrow got hit in the face as he threw an incomplete pass to Tanner Hudson, and then there might have been defensive holding against a Raven who held on to Mike Gesicki before the pass.
No flags. The Bengals lost 35-34. And Al Michaels rightfully ripped officials after what he saw.
"Too many games end this way," he said. "You miss calls, the whole thing, it's so frustrating."
It sure is.
Terry McAulay felt the Ravens got away with 2 penalties on the game-deciding 2-point attempt.
"It was clearly defensive holding...and that does look like forceable contact to the head of the quarterback," McAulay.
"Too many games end this way. They just do," Al Michaels. pic.twitter.com/Pl7WqjdWr6— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) November 8, 2024
