The Ravens are one of the most penalized teams in the league, but even so not enough penalties were called when they defeated the Bengals on Thursday Night Football
The Cincinnati Bengals barely lost to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night when they failed to convert the two-point conversion, and now some question whether they shouldn’t have had a do-over.
Two Ravens were fined for the Thursday game for three separate plays. Marlon Humphrey was fined on two occasions, one for a facemask on Andrei Iosivas and then another one on one of the latest hits on a QB ever seen that was somehow not called.
He was fined 33,766 for these two instances.
Boy I didn’t see that late hit from Marlon Humphrey that has Burrow in pain. Unreal that wasn’t called.

The other even more infuriating penalty was on the two-point conversion that ultimately lost the Bengals the game. During the play, pressure was very quick, and even on a quick replay it was clear that the Ravens had hold of multiple facemasks during the play.
The Bengals were vindicated if they felt this way as well, as Travis Jones was fined $22,511 for a blow to the head/neck against Joe Burrow on the two-point conversion attempt. It may not have changed the game’s result, but it is frustrating to see the NFL admit there was a penalty after the Ravens got the win.

Oh well. We’re on to Los Angeles.
