The Cincinnati Bengals got an extra shot on third-and-goal early Sunday thanks to Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Malik McDowell lining up offside.
They did not make the most of it. In fact, it turned into a worst-case scenario when Joe Burrow looked to connect with Ja'Marr Chase for the rookie receiver's eighth touchdown this season. Facing third-and-goal from the 3-yard line, Burrow looked to Chase in the right flat at the goal line. But it was another former college teammate who came up with the catch.
Denzel Ward blanketed Chase from the snap and jumped the route for an interception.
