For the second time in three weeks the NFL’s Thursday night game was impacted by officials not calling what looked to be obvious penalties on a potential game-deciding play.

This time it was the Cincinnati Bengals on the wrong end of it in a 35-34 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

After driving 70 yards for a touchdown with less than a minute to play in the fourth quarter, the Bengals opted against kicking a game-tying extra point and decided to put the game in the hands of quarterback Joe Burrow. Given the way Burrow had torched the Ravens defense all night, including on the final drive of the game, it seemed like a solid choice to go for the win. 

The play ended up failing on an incomplete pass to tight end Mike Gesicki.
