CINCINNATI — With just less than two minutes to go in Thursday night’s preseason finale, the Cincinnati Bengals appeared poised to escape with a last-minute victory over the Indianapolis Colts after Bengals quarterback Keith Wenning found wide receiver Alonzo Russell on a slant play for a go-ahead touchdown.
After the extra point, Cincinnati had taken a 10-6 lead, thanks to its 11-play, 73-yard drive that took 5:27 off the clock.
When the Colts’ offense took the field with 1:55 remaining in the game, Stephen Morris had one simple message for his teammates in the huddle.
