That 2nd down checkdown that was dropped, that was critical. Execute that, and they at least can't decline the penalty, it's field goal range and/or 4th and 4.
He has to to control it through the ground. Chase had both hands off the ball when he landed. Now, the ball doesn't hit the ground, but when he does grab it again he was already OB.
Looks like the hands came off the ball on the ground. It doesn't hit the ground, but he'd have to re-establish possession and is already OB so cannot.
They won't overturn this, but they easily could.
I will bless the use of timeout of D on these next 2 plays, on the remote chance the Bengals don't come out of that 2-minute stop with a play that schemes someone wide open to the end zone against the Bills forehead-palms scheme.
Injury update:
"Not only are the Bengals missing 3 starters but Karras lost his leg below the knee on the last drive."
"Thanks Amanda, now let's replay that last 12 yard run where the Bengals runner wasn't touched till he got a first down."
For some reason, Cincinnati's coaches got lucky and guessed right thinking the Bills would just run their base defense out there instead of coming up with Bengals specific stuff.
