The Cincinnati Bengals faced controversy after their narrow loss to the Baltimore Ravens, where two critical penalties were overlooked during a crucial 2-point conversion attempt.

Joe Burrow's pass to Tanner Hudson fell incomplete, but tight end Mike Gesicki was held, and a roughing-the-passer call on Burrow was also missed. Former NFL official Terry McAulay confirmed that both fouls should have been called, highlighting a growing frustration with officiating in the league.
