Bengals connect on Hail Mary to tie game vs. Ravens (GIF)
The Cincinnati Bengals connected on a Hail Mary Sunday to tie their game with the Baltimore Ravens at 17 as time expired in the fourth quarter.
Cincinnati had a 4th-and-15 with two seconds left after being sacked on third down. They had the ball at their 49 and put Andy Dalton in the shotgun. Dalton heaved a pass to the goal line that got batted around and eventually passed in the air to A.J. Green, who came down with the 51-yard touchdown catch. With the extra point, they tied the game.
James Ihedigbo is the one who will be criticized for the play; he pushed the ball up instead of knocking it down, giving Green the chance to make the catch.
This really has not been the Ravens’ season, but luckily they won 20-17 in overtime.
