Robert Griffin III Inclinations NFL to Execute Changes Following Bengals-Ravens Game Completion
The Baltimore Ravens were able to avoid another high-profile foul against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night, winning with 35:34 to play.
The Bengals' attempt to win the game fell apart with a missed two-point shot in the final seconds of the final quarter, bringing the game to a dramatic final moment.
As has become a staple of many primetime games this season, "Thursday Night Football" ended with a number of leadership discussions.
On a crucial two-point shot, Cincinnati's final attempt at the win, several calls appeared to be ignored by the officials. Notably, Clete Blakeman's officiating team missed several "facing" penalties against Ravens players, one of which appeared to involve Bengals quarterback Joe Tunnell throwing a pass.
The ball eventually flew over tight end Leathers' Hudson line, ending the game and giving Baltimore a narrow victory.
Former NFL quarterback and head football coach Robert Griffin III, who played three seasons with the Ravens, expressed his concerns about the situation directly through social media platform X.
Griffin expressed his frustration over the missed call and argued that the Bengals should have had another chance to try the move.
He said that two clear penalties went unpunished and would have been ruled a foul if the management team had investigated the hit to the face of the tunnel player.
Griffin called on the league to implement a standard change to evaluate replays for clear and obvious penalty misses within the final two minutes of a game.
"Two clear penalties were missed, and if review was standard, the slap in the face would have easily been ruled a foul.
" His statement reflects a widespread opinion among fans and pundits who believe that coaching mistakes during key playing time often affect the outcome.
Griffin, the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2012, retired after playing as the Ravens' backup QB until 2020.
His experience in the league and his unique relationship with the Ravens and Bengals make his analysis especially important.
Although the exchange ended up being a scramble, the actual game was a very exciting duel between the AFC North opponents.
The duel was reminiscent of their previous duel, 41-38 in overtime in Week 5. On Thursday, Tunnell and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson combined for a staggering 757 yards and eight scores, giving fans an exciting show of competition.
Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase paced the all-around players with an incredible 11 catches for 264 yards and three scores, and was a key figure in keeping Cincinnati in the game.
The final quarter of the game accounted for nearly half of the late-night points, with 34 of the total 69 points coming from a spectacular final-quarter push.
The hostile confrontation highlighted the bitter fighting between the groups while also reigniting debate over ensuring consistency in operations and the possible need for rule changes in the NFL.
