Lost in all the bad calls and defense meltdown was Gailey's curious decision to call a timeout right before the end of the first half, which gave the Bengals another play. Obviously he was thinking it was 4th down, but did he really expect the Bengals to punt it with only 2 seconds left on the clock? Chances are they either run it once more and kill the clock or try for a hail mary. In either scenario, there is a better chance of the Bengals scoring than the Bills. The timeout makes sense with 10-15 seconds left on the clock, but not 2.
