Bengals clinging to 21-17 lead
At the two-minute warning, with 1:58 left, the Bengals are up 21-17. Seattle is at the Cincinnati 45-yard line. It is third and 10.
The Bengals made an excellent play on first down, almost coming up with a game-changing turnover on a tipped pass by tackle Michael Myers. Matt Hasselbeck caught the deflection and started to run before fumbling.
The play was not one that could be challenged.

Post a Comment*Blown call my ref cost the game. Good job NFL, create a rule that even replay can't be used to make the right call
Another choke job by the Bungles. Special teams reminds me of 1993. This team really stinks, the season is basically over.
That call could have been challenged.
Marvin Lewis does not know the rules.
He is not allowed to challenge the fumble, but he could have challenged the catch. Would have resulted in a 10 yard loss, 2nd and 20 for Seattle
That was either the second time the refs have misunderstood what ruling Marvin was trying to challenge at a critical juncture of the game, or Marvin has no idea what he can and cannot challenge on certain plays.
Bottom line is, replay is supposed to be there as an oversight to correct a blown call. It should not be a game of semantics. Refs should get the damn call right in the first place anyway, not use replay as their crutch, and the really sad part is that had that play taken three seconds longer, it would have been reviewed AUTOMATICALLY!. And it would have resulted in a penalty had they zebras gotten it right, because Hasselbeck is not allowed to catch his own pass.
