    Defender initiates contact, no OPI. The DBs seem to switch assignments, so the deeper guy is waiting to see what Hunter does, hence out of position when AB makes the catch, but in that case it's on the closer DB to get around Hunter - not try and go through him.

    Had Hunter not blocked, I still have a suspicion AB would have scored, because the DB is a step behind AB at the snap of the ball, so if he doesn't succeed in jamming him he has a bad angle to make the tackle. JMO.

    All the same, I can see why the Bengals fans are screaming about it.

    Charlie said this after the game on the radio. It was a legal play.

    They are whining about it in Jungle Noise.

    Of course.


    Perhaps the "Jungle" itself needs to be cut down a bit. The path towards victory can be obstructed by one's own overestimation of themselves.

    What Al Riveron made a call in our favor? Can't be.
