Officials at Sunday's New York Jets-Cincinnati Bengals game had their hearts in the right place.
Their heads? They appeared to be elsewhere.
A blatant error in the name of player safety cost the Bengals a rightful chance at a final possession in their 34-31 loss to the Jets. With 2:00 remaining, Jets quarterback Mike White looked to running back Ty Johnson in the flat on a third-and-11 play from the New York 21-yard line. The play never stood a chance.
Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton sniffed it out and tackled Johnson for a 1-yard loss.
