Bengals coach Marvin Lewis discusses how penalties hurt his team in their loss to the Cardinals.
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Bengals coach Marvin Lews emphatically disputed a penalty that gave the Cardinals a 32-yard field goal to win Sunday night instead of a 47-yard kick, saying it was a "phantom call" he thought was "ridiculous."
With six seconds left in Arizona's 34-31 win, Cincinnati defensive tackle Domata Peko was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. Head official Terry McAulay announced Peko had been simulating a snap call, causing Cardinals offensive linemen to move early.
