Game-Changing Play of the Week: Bengals Opt to Kick on 4th and 1

That was one of the weirdest football games I've ever watched.

Picking a Game-Changing Play of the Week proved to be a difficult task. It felt like every time such a play occurred, a missed field goal rendered it meaningless. So ultimately, the only real choice for me was the Bengals' decision to go for the game-winning field goal (a relatively long one) on fourth and one instead of going for the first down.

What a close call. It literally hits the flag, scraping the outside of the upright! Had it been a bit closer there's a chance this kick would have gone in and the vibe among Packer fans would be very different today.
