Zac Taylor explains conservative approach that doomed Bengals in OT

The Cincinnati Bengals had a huge win in the palm of their hands in overtime against the Baltimore Ravens when Lamar Jackson took his eyes off a snap and fumbled it. Germaine Pratt scooped it up, and the Bengals, needing only a field goal, were set up in prime position to win their first divisional matchup of the 2024 season.

The Bengals ran the ball three straight times, gaining only one yard. When Evan McPherson came out to win the game, disaster struck. Rookie punter Ryan Rehkow, acting as the holder, dropped the ball as he went to place it on the turf.
