The Cincinnati Bengals saw their playoff hopes slip further on Thursday night in a 35-34 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that was as entertaining as it was controversial.
In a game marred by questionable office holderthe Ravens earned their seventh win of the season after the Bengals failed to score on their two-point conversion attempt late in the fourth quarter. With the Bengals down 35-34, Joe Burrow targeted tight end Tanner Hudson in the end zone for the potential game-winning playbut Hudson ultimately failed to land the catch.
After the loss to the Bengals, star receiver Ja’Marr Chase was asked if he thought the ball should have gone to him on that last play.
“Yeah, I mean, I always feel like as a receiver you would want to get the ball, yeah, but sometimes Joe doesn’t see it,” Chase replied.
