Lost amid the Dolphins’ fourth quarter meltdown Sunday was the final play of Quarter No. 1 that might have had a huge impact if the game had gone differently.
The official record shows that Dolphins linebacker Chase Allen ran into Bengals punter Kevin Huber on fourth-and-5, costing the Dolphins five yards and giving the Bengals a first down.
But Allen believes he hit the ball coming off Huber’s foot — yet even if he didn’t, there should have been no penalty anyway because he was blocked into the kicker.
“I mean I thought I hit the ball,” Allen said Monday.
